FROM UNIVERSITY TO GLOBAL GROWTH

OUR JOURNEY

OroraTech is a Munich-based NewSpace startup founded by Thomas Grübler, Björn Stoffers, Florian Mauracher and Rupert Amann in 2018. As a spin-off from the MOVE-II CubeSat project at the Technical University of Munich, our satellite technology is based on years of academic research. Headquartered in the heart of Munich, we have grown to a team of  highly-motivated individuals from all over the world. We specialize in early wildfire detection and monitoring using satellite data and advanced fire algorithms, united by a common vision:

NewSpace Intelligence for a sustainable Earth – driven by integrity and passion.

GLOBAL, DIVERSE, ENGAGED.

OUR MANAGEMENT

The international team of over 50 passionate engineers, software developers, and business experts is guided by a group of skilled leaders whose mission is to use space-derived data to protect our environment.

WHAT OUR INVESTORS SAY

“What excites us about OroraTech is the immediate impact on mitigating Climate Change by protecting our natural carbon sinks and reducing CO2 emissions on a large scale. The strong mission-driven OroraTech team and their environmental solution is a perfect fit for Ananda and our core believe in entrepreneurial solutions for a more sustainable world.”

“The market potential of NewSpace businesses is considerable. The potential fields of application for OroraTech across the globe in particularly at-risk regions such as California, Australia, or Brazil, convinced us – the venture capital organization of the Free State of Bavaria – from the start. With our growth fund ‘Wachstumsfonds Bayern’ we will support the Munich-based business to take the next step in realizing its ambitious growth plans.”

“We have been actively observing OroraTech since 2019 which has already then impressed by its dynamic and determined founder team. It is absolutely remarkable what they have built up and achieved so far despite limited financial resources and we feel very proud that we are allowed to be part of this inspiring and ambitious NewSpace project.”
