Inverto Earth AG

Inverto aims to automate mangrove restoration as a service for mangrove restoration groups. Mangroves are excellent carbon sinks, many times more than terrestrial forests, and are critical for biodiversity. There are currently over 800'000 hectares of mangroves that can be restored, but the planting of mangroves is very labour intensive in difficult terrain, slowing restoration efforts and increasing restoration costs. Inverto has engineered a system that can precisely release mangrove seeds from drones, reducing planting costs and speeding up the process. Using innovative methods for data collection, Inverto also develops an intelligent site selection approach to select planting locations as well as scalable techniques for data on carbon captured and biodiversity impacts.
