Wildfires are becoming more intense, more frequent, and more destructive. Earlier detection means faster response. Faster response prevents escalation. Technology can change that trajectory.
At Dryad, we build ultra-early wildfire detection systems combining environmental sensors, mesh connectivity, and a digital monitoring platform. Based in Berlin / Brandenburg, our mission is to deploy scalable, reliable IoT systems that help public and private forest owners detect fires early and protect critical ecosystems.
