R2Home Sustainable Atmospheric Sensing wins over Meteomatics 🚀🌡️🇨🇭🌐

Pioneering sustainable weather data collection with Meteodrones, Meteomatics has acquired R2Home and its innovative glidersonde technology, which enables the recovery and reuse of radiosondes. R2Home was launched in 2019 as an EPFL-Spin-off project by Yohan Hadji who will be working on the industrialization of his solution with the St-Gallen-based company.

Huge congratulations to 20-year-old former Venture Kick winner Yohan Hadji on his successful exit with R2Home!

Yohan's glidersonde, originally developed at @EPFL_en and now rebranded as Meteoglider, has officially joined the @Meteomatics family, advancing sustainable solutions in atmospheric sensing.

About: Each year, 600,000 radiosondes are launched globally to gather atmospheric data for weather forecasts, but most are lost when balloons burst, causing significant environmental and economic costs ( USD 100M annually). R2HOME offers a groundbreaking solution: a gliding robot that ensures radiosondes return safely to a precise landing point. This preserves the equipment for reuse, enabling more launches and better data collection for improved weather forecasts in a world where accurate predictions are increasingly vital.
