Partnerships Established with National Central University (Taiwan) and Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City
RainbirdGEO, a climate and geotech startup equipped with geostationary satellite and AI-based early warning technologies, is joining forces with leading research universities in Taiwan and Vietnam to develop global climate risk response technologies.
In December 2024 and January 2025, RainbirdGEO signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with the Center for Space and Remote Sensing Research (CSRSR) under the National Central University (Taiwan) and the Faculty of Environment under the Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM). These MOUs cover collaborative research in the fields of climate and energy systems, remote sensing, and geographic information systems (GIS).
"Responding to the climate crisis begins with scientific solidarity beyond borders."
The MOUs focus on ▲co-development of climate risk prediction technologies ▲co-hosting of symposiums and workshops ▲exchange of technical materials and personnel. Over the next five years, the three institutions aim to establish a long-term partnership to analyze and address the scientific aspects of Asia’s climate crisis.
Yong-Sang Choi, CEO of RainbirdGEO, stated:
“This agreement marks a meaningful beginning for scientific cooperation across borders in solving the climate crisis. Through technology and data, we are committed to creating a world where no one is left behind in the face of climate disasters.”
About the Partner Institutions
National Central University – Center for Space and Remote Sensing Research (CSRSR)
Established in 1984 and located in Taoyuan, CSRSR is one of Taiwan’s leading research centers in space science, remote sensing, and satellite-based climate analysis. With over 110 scientists and engineers, the center conducts interdisciplinary research and graduate education in collaboration with multiple departments.
Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City – Faculty of Environment, University of Science
Founded in 1995, VNU-HCM is the largest university in southern Vietnam, with over 85,000 students and 4,300 faculty members. Its Faculty of Environment plays a key role in climate change adaptation and sustainability research in Vietnam, and contributes to policy development and environmental education.
This MOU marks the first global joint research partnership for RainbirdGEO’s data-driven climate risk platform and technologies. It is expected to lay a solid foundation for scientific analysis and climate policy integration across Asia. RainbirdGEO will continue to build a data-driven climate response ecosystem, based on technology and international partnerships, to ensure that no one is left behind in the face of climate disasters.
