Spoor

Spoor is a Norwegian biodiversity technology company, with a vision to enable nature and industry to coexist. Spoor promotes biodiversity positive wind energy development by combining high-resolution video cameras with advanced AI-based software to detect, track and identify birds and analyse their activity. This kind of accurate, detailed empirical data can reduce environmental and financial risks and allow smarter decision making by developers and regulators. Spoor currently employs 22 people of diverse backgrounds; with 14 nationalities and a 36% female representation. The team’s expertise includes ornithology, offshore wind, regulatory affairs, data science, edge computing, and machine learning. Since the first pilot was launched in March 2021, Spoor's solution has been deployed on multiple onshore and offshore sites in Northern Europe, with further installations underway. Together with Equinor and Fugro in a separate project, Spoor pioneered the use of floating offshore platforms offshore to monitor bird-activity for pre-construction surveys.
