StormGeo

Foundation

StormGeo started in 1997 as Storm Weather Center, a spin-off of Norway’s largest commercial broadcaster, TV2. 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.

StormGeo is headquartered in Bergen, Norway, with 550 employees and 26 offices across the globe including in the US, the UK, the UAE, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, Greece, Azerbaijan, Germany, Hong Kong, Oman, Brazil, Denmark, South Korea, China, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, and Lithuania.
