OVERVIEW

Technosylva is a leading SaaS company providing operational support solutions and risk analysis for wildfires and extreme weather events. Our mission is to reduce the impact of these events through proactive, actionable intelligence that enables better decision-making.

We offer a suite of software solutions specifically designed to mitigate risks associated with both wildfires and extreme weather conditions. These solutions are used by some of the leading private utility companies (IOUs), fire management agencies, and other key organizations in the United States.

Our products enable anticipation of risks, on-demand fire spread predictions, and infrastructure resilience analysis, while supporting regulatory compliance and reporting processes. Although designed to meet the needs of utility companies and government agencies, they are rapidly gaining traction in other sectors, such as transmission operators, insurers, and new industries exposed to climate risk.
