Case studies
Some ideas are born from an intuition. Others come from a more precise tension: the feeling that the world is changing faster than the tools we have to read it.
That is how Eoliann began.
From a question that felt to us both simple and radical: how do you take a reality that is increasingly unstable, unpredictable and complex, and make it understandable enough to act on?
It was a question about climate, of course. But also about the way we make decisions: about the gap between what we know and what we are actually able to do.
That is where our path began.
Eoliann carries a tribute to its origins in its very name: Vento, the venture building program created to support the development of high-potential new ventures, held each year at OGR Tech in Turin.
It was in that context that Roberto, Chiara, Emidio and Giovanni began shaping Eoliann’s vision, working for six months to define the scope of the project, outline the first elements of the technological framework and test the strength of the idea.
In June 2022, Eoliann was officially founded as a Benefit Corporation.
In November of the same year, with the closing of a €1.5 million pre-seed investment from Primo Space and Exor Ventures, we had what we needed to turn ideas into reality, with the support of an exceptional team.
2023 was the year when we began to see our trajectory take shape.
In October 2023, after being selected among the 10 finalists of the Data Science for Resilience programme, Ternabecame our first client. For us, it was a defining milestone: the moment our work began to measure itself against a real, complex and high-impact challenge.
In November 2023, Eoliann was included in FinTech Global’s ESGFinTech100 ranking.
In December 2023, NTT DATA recognised the potential of our path and launched a strategic partnership with us.
2024 marked a further acceleration.
In February 2024, we were the only non-US startup selected to join the Wharton School Cypher Accelerator, one of the most prestigious programmes on the international stage.
In March 2024, we reached third place in the Great Place To Work Italy ranking: a recognition that meant a great deal to us, because it reflects the kind of culture we want to build.
In April 2024, we became a partner of the European Space Agency through the InCubed programme. It was an important step, strengthening our work on the integration of satellite observation, modelling and predictive capability.
At the same time, we continued working with infrastructure and institutional players such as Terna, CVA and Regione Piemonte, defining more and more clearly our way of operating: with scientific rigour, vision and practical applicability.
In October 2025, we closed a €4.25 million Seed round, a key milestone that will allow us to accelerate our growth, expand our climate risk coverage and support our international expansion.
It was a moment we experienced with enthusiasm and gratitude. This capital increase was led by Montage Ventures, together with CDP Venture Capital SGR, Primo Capital, Terna SpA Forward and OpenEconomics.
That same year, we also received the ENI Joule for Entrepreneurship special mention, awarded at the Quirinale by the President of the Republic: a recognition that reminds us of the deeper purpose behind our commitment.
After this path, in 2026 our work took on an even clearer shape in Airis, our proprietary climate risk analytics and resilience intelligence platform.
Airis was created to translate years of research, development and field experience into a concrete tool: one that can analyse exposure and vulnerability, assess climate risk across different time horizons and quantify direct and indirect damages, providing an operational basis for planning interventions, setting priorities and supporting more informed decisions.
For us, Airis is the synthesis of all the work we have done over these years: the point where vision, technology and application meet and open out to the world.
Looking back at Eoliann’s story today means seeing a sequence of milestones, but above all recognising a tension that has remained the same from the beginning: turning uncertainty into the capacity to act.
Over time, we have understood that building technology, for us, does not only mean building accuracy. It also means building closeness: developing tools that are understandable, relevant and adoptable, designed to stand beside decisions, not above them.
That is why we are not interested in reinforcing the idea of a future defined only by threat. We want to help build tools to inhabit it better.
In the end, Eoliann keeps being born every time we find a better way to read risk, every time we make a decision more informed, every time we help someone see in unpredictability not only a threat, but also a space for intervention.
And that is still where we want to begin: from this stubborn and luminous idea that, even in a more unstable world, it is possible to understand better, choose better and prepare better.
