Company History
WeatherForce has been created by Christine David and Pascal Venzac in August 2016, based on a common finding: it is not normal, given the technological progress, that there are still some blind spots in the world for weather and climate information.
Indeed, today, 70% of the world economy is dependent on meteorology according to the United Nations. And yet in 75% of the most vulnerable countries meteorologically there is no or little reliable, precise and effective information!
To break with this paradigm WeatherForce has developed a technically and economically innovative solution: The first collaborative platform for the generation of customized private-labelled weather and climate services to :
Strengthen
Local ecosystems with weather data to promote sustainable collaborative development
Assist
National Meteorological Institutes in most vulnerable countries to deliver highly local weather expertise
Create
sustainable, high ROI and cost-effective solutions to provide reliable weather information anywhere
Design
Customized end-to-end climate and weather applications for international private companies
Experts in meteorology, weather services and IT
