History
Foundation

Meteorologist Siri Kalvig saw an opportunity to offer customized weather services to other industries, and it began a venture in collaboration with TV2. In 1998, StormGeo created their first weather service for the growing hydroelectric power industry. In August 2018, StormGeo was selected as a participant in the UN Global Compact, committing to ocean sustainability as a contributor to the Action Platform for Sustainable Ocean Business.
