Information

Dryad is an environmental IoT startup based in Berlin. Its mission is to develop a large-scale IoT network that allows public and private forest owners to monitor, analyze and protect the world’s most at-risk forests. The initial focus is to develop a system for the ultra-early detection of wildfires - Silvanet.

Silvanet detects fires in minutes, even during their early smoldering phase. By providing such drastically improved reaction times, Dryad can help to prevent unwanted wildfires, which cause up to 20% of global CO2 emissions and have a devastating impact on biodiversity, infrastructure, and communities.
