LUMO Labs has announced an new investment of €250,000 in Vrije Universiteit (VU) Amsterdam spin-out Beyond Weather, to further develop its AI technology for long-range weather and impact forecasting.

Based in Utrecht, near by the Dutch national weather hub at De Bilt, Beyond Weather has an extensive climate expertise and provides innovative AI developments which provide accurate and reliable weather and impact forecasts.

Jannes van Ingen, CEO of Beyond Weather says that, “Beyond Weather originated from a dedicated team of climate scientists at VU Amsterdam. We care about the risks of climate change, and we work passionately every day to bring predictability and actionability to society. We are immensely excited to have LUMO Labs on our side in this journey”.  

Beyond Weather's AI-driven models offer timely, interpretable and actionable forecasts that enable the energy and agricultural sectors to anticipate high-risk weather events further in advance. This allows businesses to effectively manage risks, reduce costs, and increase profitability by preemptively addressing potential impacts such as crop damage.

Moreover, Beyond Weather will be providing actionable data to help humanitarian efforts in the Global South.

This current investment succeeds earlier funding from TTT-AI, NWO and Rabobank for the development and successful validation of Beyond Weather’s technology.
