Rainbow sensing co-designs, creates affordable, open and locally sustainable devices with software solutions to measure, monitor and understand complex environmental processes. We equip local people with local devices and open knowledge so that they can monitor and understand their own environment. We adhere to the Principles for Digital Development
Our team consists of international specialists in environmental sensing and data including geospatial, hydrology and imaging. All our team members have affiliation with electronics, and software development. Our combination of skills leads to what we are, a social enterprise for the development, piloting and roll out of products and services for environmental monitoring in any country or city in the world without the constraints of proprietary solutions. We don’t sell our products, we don’t profit from them, instead we facilitate their use through training and scaling activities.
Many areas in the world are still not accurately mapped. Yet, up-to-date Digital Terrain Models, exposure data and cadastral information is much needed to better understand risks, address land ownership and develop commerical services.
