A portfolio of climate-tech companies passionate about water risk
WHAT WE INVEST IN
The toolbox of Industry 4.0 solutions
Drone Technology
Seeing water risk up close
Improved visibility into erosion, sedimentation, waterbody expansion & reduction, etc
IoT Sensors
Monitoring water risk in real time
Time series data, of high spatiotemporal resolution, bring new insights into water risks
Earth Observation
A birds eye view of water risk
From soil saturation & instability, chlorophyll, and water level monitoring, satellites are often ideal
AI-Driven Modelling
A deeper understanding of water risk
Enhanced visibility into where/how an asset is likely to experience a given outcome at a given point in time
Risk Management Tools
Water risk is a life and death hazarad
From lab testing to field testing, understanding population dynamics helps guide biodiversity undertakings
Decision-Support Platforms
Start with data, end with a strategy
Just producing higher resolution data on water risk is not enough, tools to support decision making are vital
THE TECH STACK
We bucket the Industry 4.0 toolbox
into two broad categories
Innovations that ‘produce’ data
Sensing-based Innovations
Sensing and measurement solutions to support owners and operators see water risk in our new climate reality.
These technologies generate high-resolution, spatiotemporal data on water quantity and quality —enabling continuous asset monitoring, constructed and natural infrastructure diagnostics, and early detection of climate-induced water risk. They form the foundation of any AI-oriented climate adaptation strategy by feeding accurate, real-time data into downstream decision systems.
On this side, we back companies we back have IP in...
-
Earth Observation – Satellite-based imaging and radar for detecting changes in aquatic ecosystems (fresh and marine), etc.
-
Real-Time Remote Sensing – Ground-based LIDAR, radar, and multispectral sensors measuring flooding, water temperature, soil moisture, and structural integrity.
-
Field Testing & Lab Services – Portable diagnostics, microbial/toxin detection, and water sampling—especially relevant for public health and ecosystem monitoring.
-
Edge Computing – On-device or on-site processing to enable real-time decision-making without cloud latency (e.g., on a dam, port, or pipeline).
-
Advanced Data Fusion – Integration of satellite, sensor, model, and historical datasets to create richer, more contextualized inputs for downstream tools.
Mazarine Climate is very bullish on companies who can help their customer's 100x the data (of high spatiotemporal resolution) on a specific asset or all assets of concern.
Innovations that ‘consume’ data
Brain-function Innovations
Intelligence and automation solutions to support owners & operators understand and manage water risk
These technologies essentially translate raw data into insights, forecasts, and automated actions—empowering owners/operators to make informed decisions, manage uncertainty, and optimize systems in real time. These innovations enable proactive risk mitigation, smarter infrastructure planning, and operational resilience.

-
Predictive AI & Simulation – Forecasts future climate conditions and models infrastructure response
-
Digital Twins – Virtual replicas of physical assets continuously updated with sensor and water quality and quantity data.
-
Decision Support Systems (DSS) – Tools that provide actionable insights, scenario planning, and resilience scoring.
-
Explainable AI (XAI) – Makes model outputs transparent and accountable, especially critical for high-stakes sectors like utilities, logistics, and insurance.
-
Generative AI & LLMs – Synthesizes complex datasets, regulatory inputs, and stakeholder needs to generate adaptive strategies or automate reporting.
-
Agentic & Multi-Agent Systems – Autonomous agents that schedule, coordinate, or act across distributed infrastructure.
-
Reinforcement Learning & Control – Optimizes dynamic systems like grid load, water distribution, or shipping/logistic in response to evolving water-related inputs.
Mazarine Climate is very bullish on companies who can help their customers understand and take action on whatever water quantity or quality risk their asset(s) are facing, or likely to face.
