Mitiga Solutions is a Barcelona-based data analytics startup spun out of the National Supercomputing Center that helps organisations measure, report and act on climate-related risks. Its flagship SaaS product, EarthScan, delivers on-demand insights across three climate scenarios and multiple time horizons, turning complex climate science and data modelling into actionable intelligence. Customers in manufacturing, retail, hospitality, real estate and infrastructure investment use the platform for location planning, portfolio due diligence and EU-aligned reporting on physical assets.
