BOSTON, July 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chloris Geospatial, a climate-tech company pioneering satellite-based measurement of forest carbon and ecosystem change, announced today it has raised $8.5 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Future Energy Ventures, with participation from existing investors AXA IM Alts, At One Ventures, Cisco Foundation, Counteract, and Orbia Ventures.
With this new funding, Chloris will accelerate product development, grow its commercial and technical teams, and deepen partnerships across corporate carbon accounting for forest risk commodities and the carbon value chain, meeting the market's rising demand for verifiable, high-quality nature-based solutions. The company will also expand its operations with a new European hub to support regional growth and customer engagement.
The investment comes at a pivotal time for the climate and nature agenda, when trust, transparency, and scalable solutions are more urgent than ever.
While the climate and nature crises are global issues, action is taken locally, by governments, project developers, investors, and supply chain actors working across diverse landscapes and regions. Aligning local actions with global ambition demands fit-for-purpose solutions that are both scientifically rigorous and operationally scalable at every level.
Chloris' technology responds directly to this need, enabling better decisions through transparent, science-based insights.
Developed under the guidance of Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer Dr. Alessandro Baccini, the Chloris technology uses satellite data, proprietary sensor fusion and machine learning to measure vegetation, going far beyond traditional land cover mapping. Chloris is uniquely positioned to provide high-quality, affordable, and timely data on what has happened in every acre of forest around the world since the year 2000.
"This is a decisive moment," said Marco Albani, CEO and Co-Founder of Chloris. "To protect and restore nature at the pace and scale the climate demands, we need tools that make it easy to act—with confidence. That's what Chloris enables, and this investment allows us to take it to the next level. We're thrilled by the support of Future Energy Ventures and honored by the continued belief in our mission from all of our investors."
As science has been telling us, forests are essential carbon sinks, biodiversity havens, and socio-economic assets—and the urgency to protect and restore them has never been greater. In the past year alone, record-breaking wildfires and declining biomass trends, visible in Chloris data, have highlighted the accelerating loss of forest carbon. Reversing this trend requires scaling investment in nature, but doing so depends on our ability to accurately quantify biomass dynamics with confidence and consistency.
"We invested in Chloris Geospatial because we believe their technology is the missing link to restoring trust and unlocking growth in carbon markets, as well as improving accounting standards. The ability to independently, transparently, and affordably measure carbon dynamics across all woody vegetation globally represents a step change in how we monitor and account for nature-based climate solutions," said Patrick Elftmann, Managing Partner at Future Energy Ventures.
Across both voluntary carbon markets and corporate supply chains, organizations are increasingly relying on satellite-based insights to assess, invest in, and monitor forest carbon projects and to report emissions and removals in alignment with protocols like the GHG Protocol.
"At AXA IM Alts, investing in solutions that protect, restore, and sustainably manage natural capital is core to our mission. Our continuous support for Chloris reflects our belief that scalable, science-based measurement is critical to driving integrity and impact in both carbon markets and corporate climate strategies," said Adam Gibbon, Natural Capital Lead at AXA IM Alts.
Chloris' clients include leading corporations working to monitor forest-risk supply chains and make data-driven decisions aligned with climate goals and carbon accounting standards, forward-looking developers of nature-based solutions, and innovative carbon markets standards. Organizations rely on Chloris' analysis to quantify forest carbon dynamics with confidence and integrate transparent, science-based data into their climate reporting.

Chloris Geospatial Raises $8.5 Million Series A to Scale Satellite-Based Forest Carbon Monitoring
DANANG, Vietnam, Dec. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Located at the heart of Central Vietnam's tourism capital, Ariyana Convention Centre Danang (ACC) has solidified its position as an architectural and service icon, setting new benchmarks for the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) industry. Beyond its prime beachfront location, Ariyana serves as a crossroads of elite service values, proven by prestigious international accolades and a rich history of hosting global summits.
The distinct standing of Ariyana Convention Centre Danang is built on a foundation of recognition from the world's leading organizations. The title "Best Convention Centre in Vietnam" from the World Luxury Travel Awards serves as a testament to its commitment to the highest luxury service standards. Simultaneously, the "Viet Nam Best MICE Venue 2025" award, presented by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, reinforces its leadership in the region. As the only convention center in Central Vietnam to hold this duo of prestigious titles, ACC continues its journey of creating professional and sophisticated event spaces.
The year 2025 marks a booming era for the Furama - Ariyana Danang International Tourism Complex. The resounding success of the Vietnam Logistics Forum (VLF 2025), chaired by the Prime Minister, affirmed ACC's capacity to handle complex logistics and ensure absolute security. This was followed by the Danang Asian Film Festival (DANAFF 2025) – a gathering of international stars and cinematic masterpieces – along with the Danang International Tourism Mart and the Switzerland - Vietnam Economic Forum. These milestones not only enhance the complex's prestige but also create a catalyst for the development of the "Central Heritage Road."
The core strength that allows ACC to satisfy even the most discerning international clients is its flexibility. The convention center boasts a magnificent, pillarless Grand Ballroom with a ceiling height of up to 9 meters, equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual systems, making it the preferred choice for strategic conferences and large-scale trade exhibitions. Notably, Ariyana Convention Centre Danang also holds a leading position as a premier venue for lavish weddings and Gala events. With a romantic beachfront Mandap space and specialized culinary services – meeting strict standards for Jain, Vegan, and Halal cuisines – it has become a magnet for "mega weddings" from the Indian market and beyond.
The influence of Ariyana Convention Centre Danang is amplified by its direct connection to the Furama Resort & Villas Danang. This synergy creates a perfect "All-in-One" solution, providing world-class meeting facilities alongside 5-star accommodations, luxury spas, golf, and convenient access to UNESCO World Heritage sites. With a strategic vision and meticulous attention to detail, ACC is not just a venue, but a strategic partner dedicated to fostering sustainable success for global clients.
Looking toward 2026 and beyond, Ariyana Convention Centre Danang is committed to walking alongside Danang City on its path to becoming a top event destination on the continent. We promise to continuously innovate, investing in sustainable infrastructure and international-standard services to attract more large-scale events, thereby driving the strong growth of the MICE industry. With the ambition to elevate the Danang brand, Ariyana Convention Centre Danang stands ready as a "pioneer" in raising the city's status on the global event map, delivering world-class experiences and success beyond expectations.
