Mitiga Solutions has been named the winner of the main startup competition at South Summit Madrid 2026.
The award recognises EarthScan™, Mitiga’s climate-risk intelligence platform, and its ability to help organisations understand and reduce the physical risks associated with climate change.
The announcement was made during the closing ceremony of the three-day event at La Nave in Madrid, where startups, investors and business leaders gathered to explore new technologies and ideas shaping the future.
Recognition for practical climate intelligence
EarthScan™ combines climate science, proprietary risk models, supercomputing and artificial intelligence to assess how physical climate hazards may affect individual assets, infrastructure and portfolios.
The platform helps organisations identify where risk is concentrated and understand how hazards such as flood, wildfire, extreme heat, drought and wind may influence operations, investment performance and long-term asset resilience.
South Summit recognised Mitiga’s ability to turn this complex scientific information into practical intelligence that organisations can use.
Turning climate risk into better decisions
As extreme events become more frequent and severe, businesses need to look beyond historical climate data when planning investments and managing assets.
EarthScan™ provides forward-looking insights that support adaptation, investment and risk-reduction decisions. It gives organisations a clearer view of how physical climate risk may evolve over time and where action can make the greatest difference.
A milestone for Mitiga
Winning South Summit Madrid 2026 marks an important milestone for the Mitiga team and reflects the growing recognition of physical climate risk as a financial and operational priority.
It also highlights the role of science-based climate intelligence in helping organisations move from awareness to informed action.
