Hydroclimat develops a climate and hydrological modelling technology that produces more than 200 indicators at a 30‑meter spatial resolution worldwide. The company uses over 20 climate models corrected and enriched by AI, and claims 98% precision with strong integrability into enterprise tools. Its platform simulates and cross‑analyses risks such as drought, coastal submersion, floods, extreme wind, temperature, and water‑related hazards; clients include SNCF, Vinci, Vicat, ESRI and Elan. Founded in 2019 and based in Aubagne, Hydroclimat has until now focused on R&D with support from local incubators and Bpifrance. After a €2 million raise, the company plans to hire commercial profiles, structure its commercial development, and strengthen computing capacity. It also intends to launch new water‑related services (groundwater and extreme precipitation) and accelerate international expansion with a goal to become a European reference within three years and address a global market within five years.
