OroraTech is building the real-time thermal intelligence layer for Earth. Founded in 2018 as a spin-off from the Technical University of Munich, the company operates a fully proprietary stack — from its own SAFIRE thermal infrared sensors and in-orbit AI edge processing to a ground platform that puts actionable intelligence in front of decision-makers in under an hour. With 19 payloads operational in space, OroraTech monitors more than 500 million hectares for 60+ government and commercial customers on every continent. Wildfire was the proving ground; the same stack now extends into defense: early warning, maritime awareness, infrastructure, and industrial monitoring. Backed by a €37M Series B, the team of 165 is scaling toward 100+ sensors and sub-15-minute revisit by 2028 — making thermal the world's earliest wide-area detection layer.
