Based in Stockholm, Sweden, ClimateView develops a software-as-a-service platform that enables local governments and municipalities to track regional carbon emissions, simulate climate scenarios, and monitor progress toward net-zero targets using key science-based data. The enterprise currently operates with a workforce of 51 to 100 employees and generates an estimated $1 million in annual recurring revenue. Its flagship ClimateOS software is currently utilized by more than 250 public authorities globally to plan and execute sustainability transitions, including regional governments in Scotland and city councils in Newcastle. To support its ongoing international expansion, ClimateView has raised approximately $16.5 million in total venture funding from prominent investors and strategic partners such as Microsoft, the Carbon Disclosure Project, and the Norrsken Foundation. The organization was officially founded in early 2018 by co-founders Tomer Shalit, Jeff Goens, and Einar Bodström.

ClimateView is a Swedish climate tech company founded in 2018 that develops ClimateOS, a comprehensive platform empowering cities and regions to plan, execute, and monitor their transition to zero-carbon economies.[1][2][3][7] The platform integrates data across sectors like energy, mobility, and waste, enabling emission inventories, strategy definition, intervention assessment, scenario modeling, and stakeholder dashboards grounded in IPCC standards and open-source frameworks.[1][2][6] It serves local governments worldwide, solving the challenge of fragmented climate data by providing science-based, actionable insights that quantify costs, returns, and impacts—turning visions into measurable plans in days rather than months.[1][2][4]
With strong growth momentum, ClimateView has expanded from 9 employees pre-pandemic to about 55, serving over 300 cities and regions across Europe and North America, including all 32 Scottish councils, the Ruhr metropolitan region in Germany, and cities like Cincinnati, Dortmund, and Glasgow.[4][5][6] Early adopters included Uppsala, Umeå (Sweden), Newcastle, and Cambridge (UK), with partnerships alongside Google, ICLEI USA, Accenture, and national bodies.[4][5]
ClimateView originated from a pivotal meeting between co-founder Einar Bodström, a serial entrepreneur driven by a "climate monkey" on his shoulder seeking meaningful impact, and mathematician Tomer Shalit, who unrolled a five-meter-long paper plan for Sweden's climate transition.[4] This sparked the company's focus on scalable climate tools, evolving over four years into ClimateOS—a rigid, data-driven model using publicly available data to avoid redundant consulting work.[4]
Starting in Stockholm, the company prioritized global scalability from day one, launching with Swedish cities Uppsala and Umeå, then expanding to UK cities like Newcastle and Cambridge.[4] By 2022, it targeted 250 users; today, it supports 300+ jurisdictions, fueled by investments like from NordicNinja VC, which highlighted its potential as a leading city climate data source.[4][5][6]
ClimateView stands out through these key strengths:
ClimateView rides the urgent wave of urban net-zero transitions, where cities face 70% of global emissions but struggle with siloed data and slow planning amid 2030/2050 deadlines.[2][6] Its timing aligns with rising regulatory pressures (e.g., EU Green Deal, U.S. IRA) and funding influxes for climate tech, enabling cities to unlock insights for policy-to-impact execution.[3][5][6]
Market forces like open data proliferation, AI-driven modeling, and public-private partnerships favor ClimateView, positioning it as "Impact Intelligence" infrastructure—much like Salesforce for CRM but for climate action.[2] It influences the ecosystem by standardizing metrics (e.g., national standards in Austria/Germany/Scotland), fostering cross-border collaboration, and accelerating adoption via partners, reducing reinvented efforts across 300+ entities.[4][5][6]
ClimateView is poised to dominate urban climate tech as the de facto OS for net-zero, expanding from 300 to thousands of cities with U.S. pushes like ClearPath 2.0 and recent wins in Austria/Scotland.[6] Trends like AI-enhanced forecasting, multi-level governance mandates, and green financing will propel growth, potentially integrating finance tools for funding transitions.
Its influence could evolve into a global data consortium, powering national policies and investor decisions—cementing ClimateView as the connective "spider web" for interconnected climate strategies, much like its founding paper unrolled Sweden's path.[1][4]
ClimateView has raised $32.0M in total across 3 funding rounds.
ClimateView's investors include Marie Ekeland, Norrsken VC, Peter Richarz, CommerzVentures, La Banque Postale, NordicNinja, Polar Structure, Sandwater, SEB Greentech Venture Capital, Paul Morgenthaler, Big Sky Health, Cherry Ventures.
