"Being selected as one of the exclusive nine companies for the CCM mission is a remarkable accomplishment for OroraTech. It underscores how valuable OroraTech’s thermal data is,” stated Dr. Martin Langer, CTO of OroraTech. "As the EU is expected to purchase more data commercially, our potential to provide a full suite of Thermal Intelligence based on real-time thermal data will increase. This way, we will address more industry sectors and effectively mitigate the impact of climate change."
