What Airmine does
Airmine AS is a privately held Norwegian company founded in 2018 in Oslo that builds satellite- and machine-learning-based pollen risk forecasts. Its core technology ingests Sentinel-2 satellite imagery from ESA's Copernicus programme together with weather forecasts (MET Norway), topography data, and (with user consent) anonymous symptom reports to classify vegetation and produce hyperlocal pollen risk predictions at local and regional scales. The company distributes these forecasts through a freemium B2C mobile application (Airmine Pollen on iOS and Android), a Strava plugin that overlays pollen and air-quality data onto athlete activities, B2B Pollen APIs, daily-updated Pollen Maps, and a Digital Signage product delivered via signage software partners such as ZetaDisplay.
Airmine sells into two distinct markets. Consumer revenue comes from a Pollen Premium subscription (monthly or yearly, billed via Apple App Store and Google Play), unlocking 9-15 day forecasts, all pollen species, detailed route profiles, and estimated season start dates. Enterprise revenue comes from API and data licensing, digital signage content, and branded integrations for media and pharmacy customers, with named deployments at Norwegian pharmacy chains Apotek 1 and Vitusapotek, media outlet VG, and pharmaceutical company Viatris for its Dymista allergy brand in Finland. Coverage spans Europe, the contiguous United States, South Africa, Australia, Indonesia (Java and Bali), Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and the Buenos Aires region.
The company is supported by European Space Agency and Norwegian Space Agency partnerships, weather data from MET Norway, Innovation Norway funding, and a 2023-2024 equity issuance that brought in professional investors. With 1-10 employees, Airmine operates as a small, founder-led team executing a hybrid PLG B2C and enterprise API/content licensing model anchored by a differentiated satellite-derived forecasting stack.
