The Brief

What Skyfora does

Skyfora builds atmospheric sensing hardware and AI weather-forecasting software, including a GNSS-based technique that reuses signal delays already present in telecom networks to measure humidity with high precision, plus StreamSonde, which the company calls the world's lightest weather sonde. The company says the resulting data streams feed AI models that improve forecast accuracy for government agencies, insurers and reinsurers tracking events like tropical storms. Skyfora offers a GNSS Weather Data API alongside a web dashboard for customers. The company is based in Helsinki and was founded in 2019 by Svante Henriksson, building on his research at the Finnish Meteorological Institute, with Antti Pasila later joining as co-founder.
