We are pleased to announce a growth investment in Previsico - a leading provider of flood intelligence solutions- through our private equity fund. With global flood-related financial losses reaching USD 87 billion in the first nine months of 2024, and with annual losses projected to approach USD 850 billion by 2050, the need for advanced predictive technology has never been greater. Previsico’s proprietary platform delivers highly accurate, property-level flood forecasts up to 48 hours ahead, leveraging live sensor, satellite, and weather data. This enables insurers, utilities, property owners, and public authorities to improve risk management and reduce losses. “Part of our role in expanding climate insurance across emerging markets is to ensure these regions gain access to world-leading climate technologies. Previsico is an excellent example of such innovation, and we look forward to collaborating to help extend their platform on a global scale,” said Richard Hardy, Investment Director, Private Equity at BlueOrchard.
