About Us
Bringing an eagle-eye view of nature to your fingertips
Your organization, like our world, relies on nature. At Gentian, we combine cutting-edge technology, ecological expertise, and deep respect for the environment to deliver actionable biodiversity insights—empowering you to make confident decisions that protect ecosystems and deliver operational resilience.
How does it work?
At Gentian, we combine cutting-edge satellite technology, AI, and ecological expertise to deliver an unparalleled system for mapping and understanding nature.
Our AI models analyze Very-High-Resolution satellite imagery to unlock precise, scalable data on habitats, vegetation, and biodiversity intelligence. Designed to reveal the invisible, our technology maps critical details—from single trees and green roofs to entire ecosystems—empowering your organization to build climate resilience, mitigate nature-related risks, and take action with confidence.
We rigorously validate every insight for unmatched accuracy, ensuring seamless integration into your existing systems. Our data empowers you to mitigate risk, accelerate decision-making, and build lasting climate resilience.
Our legacy
Our journey began by helping local governments uncover the role of green roofs in strengthening climate resilience. Driven by a commitment to reveal the truth about nature, Gentian has since expanded this expertise to diverse habitats around the globe.
Today, our AI-powered tools empower global corporations, government organizations and local authorities to see, map, and monitor vital ecosystems. We turn ecological complexity into clear insights that protect nature and inform human progress.
With Gentian, corporate leaders deliver transparent and accurate reporting that aligns with global frameworks such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). We help you navigate evolving regulations and manage climate-related risks, driving your organization toward a resilient, sustainable future.
