Founded in 2019 as a spin-off of the University of Padua’s Applied Nuclear Physics Department, Finapp builds and sells patented probes that use Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing (CRNS) to quantify water in soil and snow by detecting cosmic-ray generated neutrons. The technology delivers real-time, wide-area readings of soil moisture and snow-water equivalent, enabling precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, early warning for landslides, floods and fires, and leakage detection in water networks. Finapp has achieved operational breakeven within six years and has deployed devices on every continent, including Antarctica. The company has earned accolades such as the EU’s EIC Accelerator award, the UN’s AI for Good recognition, and a prize at COP28. Proceeds from the latest funding will be used to open new offices in France and the United States, scale the team to meet international demand, and expand production and R&D capabilities in Italy. Finapp aims to globalize its water-measurement solutions and accelerate industrial growth while promoting sustainable water management worldwide.
