Nubila Network Acquires BloomSky to Advance Real-Time Hyperlocal Weather Data Collection
San Francisco, United States, September 18th, 2024, Chainwire
Nubila Network, a leader in ESG data solutions, has announced its acquisition of BloomSky, an innovative meteorological equipment and data company. This acquisition marks a pivotal moment in Nubila’s mission to build a comprehensive ESG data network that empowers industries with real-time, hyperlocal environmental insights.
Since its founding in 2013, BloomSky has pioneered the world’s first weather image collection network, amassing over ten thousand sky images contributed by users from across six continents, over 100 countries, and more than 2,200 cities. This global community of crowdsourced contributors has helped create a “visible weather” network, gathering nearly a decade’s worth of data since 2015. The combination of BloomSky’s hardware and software IoT capabilities provides a strong foundation for Nubila’s integration of DePIN infrastructure, ensuring comprehensive and accessible data solutions.
BloomSky’s Role in Nubila’s Vision
BloomSky’s network of weather stations, deployed globally, captures precise data on temperature, humidity, rainfall, and UV index. These capabilities are crucial for industries such as agriculture, insurance, urban planning, and environmental research. With a 100TB database spanning 10 years of hyperlocal weather records and as the only weather station equipped with a sky camera, BloomSky’s technology offers unparalleled real-time data that will significantly enhance Nubila’s ability to support informed decision-making.
“This acquisition is about more than just expanding our business—it’s about providing democratized access to real-time, hyperlocal data,” said Benson, CEO of Nubila Network. “By integrating BloomSky’s technology into Nubila’s ecosystem, we’re giving industries the data they need to drive sustainable initiatives across the globe.”
Founded in San Francisco, BloomSky’s technology has been utilized in partnerships with organizations such as the US National Storm Damage Center, California Fire Department, and The Climate Corporation (a subsidiary of Monsanto).
BloomSky’s ability to capture highly localized environmental data aligns perfectly with Nubila’s vision of transforming the ESG data landscape through real-time, user-powered insights. This acquisition addresses current gaps in ESG data, such as fragmentation and lack of real-time accuracy, while offering a more transparent, participatory process for businesses looking to align their strategies with actionable, localized information.
What’s Next: Parallel Innovations with Marco Pre-Order
In addition to integrating BloomSky’s vast weather station network, Nubila is launching the Marco pre-order event on September 18, 2024. The Marco device, Nubila’s next-generation weather station, will enable individuals to actively participate in collecting hyperlocal weather data. While BloomSky’s technology and data will strengthen Nubila’s offerings, Marco owners will contribute in parallel by expanding the reach of Nubila’s real-time weather data collection network.
This dual approach—leveraging BloomSky’s established network and Marco owners’ contributions—ensures that Nubila’s ESG data ecosystem will continue to grow in both scale and precision, creating a future where real-time hyperlocal data is available to everyone.
Strengthening Industry Leadership
Nubila’s recent funding round, supported by IoTeX, VeChain, and Boston Consulting Group, underscores strong market confidence in the company’s vision. The acquisition of BloomSky further solidifies Nubila’s leadership in ESG data solutions, providing the transparency, accuracy, and innovation required for industries to make sustainable, data-driven decisions.
“We’re acquiring more than just technology—we’re acquiring the tools to build a connected, sustainable future where real-time data drives action,” added Nubila’s founder.
With BloomSky’s integration and the upcoming Marco pre-order event, Nubila is poised to transform how businesses and individuals access and utilize hyperlocal environmental data, driving positive outcomes across industries.
