GaiaHub

What GaiaHub does

GaiaHub is a Tallinn, Estonia-based cleantech company that builds a real-time urban emissions monitoring and analytics platform for cities and municipalities. The platform combines license plate recognition (LPR) smart cameras, high-precision environmental sensors, and machine learning forecasting, with integration to national vehicle registries (e.g., Latvia's CSDD) to apply the HBEFA 4.2 emissions methodology and produce vehicle-specific CO2, NOx, and PM2.5 measurements. Its product surface includes a City Dashboard for municipal officials, a public-facing citizen platform, and city-specific implementations such as the Liepāja Dashboard (an ongoing 2024-2025 project with Liepāja City, Latvia).

The company is privately held, founded in 2023, and operates with a 1-10 person team led by five female co-founders covering CEO, CTO (PhD), CBDO, CPO, and CLO functions. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeted at city governments and municipal environmental authorities, with a contact-form-driven, quote-based sales motion and no publicly disclosed pricing. The revenue model is a recurring SaaS subscription for the monitoring platform, sold against the narrative of replacing estimated, fuel-sales-based emissions reporting with continuous, real-time, privacy-compliant (GDPR, automatic LPR data deletion) measurement aligned with the EU Green Deal 2030 and SDG9/SDG11. The named customer base is, at this stage, a single municipal client — Liepāja City — with transport and industrial operators listed as secondary target verticals.

Core offering

GaiaHub provides an AI-powered real-time emissions monitoring SaaS platform for cities and organizations, combining license plate recognition cameras, environmental sensors, and machine learning to track vehicle emissions (CO2, NOx, PM2.5) in near-real-time. The platform integrates with national vehicle registries to deliver vehicle-specific emission analysis using the HBEFA 4.2 methodology, and offers dashboards for both city officials and citizens. It enables data-driven urban planning, traffic optimization, and environmental policy validation for municipalities seeking to comply with EU Green Deal and SDG commitments.

Product overview

GaiaHub offers a unified real-time mobility analytics platform for urban environmental management, consisting of two primary software interfaces: the City Dashboard for city officials (real-time emissions tracking, traffic pattern analysis, and policy impact assessments) and the Public Platform for citizens (accessible air quality information and live statistics). The Liepāja Dashboard represents a city-specific implementation of these components deployed in Liepāja, Latvia, using HBEFA 4.2 methodology, LPR cameras, and environmental sensors to monitor CO2, NOx, and particulate matter emissions across key intersections.
