WeavAir Scales Climate Tech with EIT AI Founders Club Support

Thanks to the support of the EIT AI Founders Club – a high-impact initiative by the EIT Community that backs disruptive early-stage European AI startups – WeavAir is closing a critical gap in the climate tech space.

WeavAir, an AI-powered startup, combines IoT sensors, artificial intelligence, and satellite data to transform deep scientific research into a robust climate intelligence platform. This technology enables infrastructure owners to monitor emissions in real time, optimize energy use, and qualify for green financing – creating a much-needed bridge between environmental science and finance.

Cities are on the frontlines of two major global challenges: climate change and rapid urbanization. Buildings and public transport account for over 60% of global carbon emissions, yet much of this infrastructure remains unmanaged in real time. Without accurate, timely data, decision-makers struggle to reduce emissions, secure sustainable funding, and build resilient urban environments.

WeavAir is changing that – bringing actionable climate intelligence where it's needed most.

Bridging the Climate Data Gap

With a PhD in Chemical Engineering and over a decade of experience in climate systems, smart sensing, and data analytics, Natalia understood that the solution needed to go beyond software. It had to merge precision with scale, and scientific insight with financial impact. This vision became the foundation for WeavAir.

I saw a deep disconnect between our technical ability to measure environmental risks and how that capability is actually applied. Decision makers in infrastructure and finance don’t have the high-quality, real-time data they need to take effective climate action. That not only limits environmental outcomes but also blocks access to sustainable financing

Breakthrough Results with a Global Footprint

Our system acts like a brain for infrastructure. It doesn’t just measure Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics, it helps improve them. For example, we enable investors to validate the environmental integrity of green bonds, loans tied to environmentally friendly projects, and assess risks that assets might lose value due to climate changes, known as stranded asset risks, using real-time, location-specific data

And the results are impressive:

• A real estate investment group managing over €1 billion in assets once relied on occasional audits and outdated spreadsheets, offering only a partial view of their emissions. After implementing WeavAir’s real-time digital twin platform across their buildings, they achieved a 28% emissions reduction within 18 months. This transparency enabled them to secure a €25 million green bond to fund eco-friendly projects meeting the EU’s official sustainability standards, financing previously out of reach without reliable data.
• Partnering with a public transport authority overseeing 8,000+ vehicles, WeavAir replaced reactive maintenance with predictive analytics and emissions monitoring. This shift cut operational emissions by 30%, saved €4.2 million annually, and reduced maintenance-related service disruptions by over 40%. The authority also met new national emissions compliance standards more quickly and cost-effectively than anticipated.
• At a major international airport, WeavAir identified hidden energy inefficiencies linked to urban heat island effects. Using AI-enhanced forecasting and digital twin simulations, the airport revamped its cooling systems, slashing energy consumption by 35% and boosting emergency preparedness against extreme climate events.

These innovations have attracted international recognition. This year, WeavAir was selected by Airbus as one of the Top 3 global startups in the INNOspace Masters Challenge, thanks to their Earth-Space digital twin platform. The solution, which combines AI, IoT, and satellite data, was also showcased at the Paris Air Show, supported by the European Commission’s EUDIS programme. There, WeavAir connected with global partners to demonstrate how their technology is enabling the next generation of smart, secure, and sustainable infrastructure systems.

A Community of Support Behind the Scenes

A key driver of WeavAir’s recent success has been its participation in the EIT AI Founders Club. A pivotal connection during the programme helped WeavAir develop a data pipeline aligned with SFDR and CSRD standards, unlocking partnerships and new use cases in sustainable finance.

The programme helped us refine our product and value proposition, but also opened doors we didn’t expect, like thought leadership opportunities and high-level mentorship. Building deep tech solutions takes time, talent, and trust. The EIT Community gives founders like me a credible platform for co-development, regulatory alignment, and international visibility.
