In Norse mythology, Heimdall is the watchful guardian of the gods, known for his extraordinary ability to see across worlds, hear even the faintest warning, and respond without delay. He stands at the edge of Asgard, vigilant and ready to protect what matters most. At Heimdall Power, we carry that spirit into the modern energy landscape. Founded in Norway in 2016, we set out with a clear purpose: to bring greater awareness and intelligence to power grids—making them safer, smarter, and more responsive. Inspired by our namesake, we believe in seeing clearly, acting early, and never standing still. From day one, our work has combined Nordic engineering principles with global ambition. What began as a bold idea in the Nordics is now a growing network of technology, partnerships, and purpose—deployed across continents, supporting some of the world’s most forward-thinking grid operators. The world’s energy systems are experiencing rapid change and unprecedented pressure. Our goal is to help ensure that change is both manageable and meaningful—with solutions that strengthen the grid, the people who operate it, and everyone who depends on it.

A growing number of natural disasters led to a 2000% increase in climate insurance claims since the 1970s, reaching $630b worldwide in the 2010s. Continued acceleration will lead climate insurance systems to collapse unless prevention is implemented.  Mitigrate is a ClimateTech SaaS startup generating fully automated analyses leading to prioritized preventive measures for reducing climate damages on real estate, starting with flooding, to be extended to other risks (drought, heat, wildfire, landslide, biodiversity, wind). Thanks to high-resolution satellite images, our map-based AI models, and optimization algorithms predict how 50+ climate-positive prevention measures can be implemented to reduce risk. Business value stems from reducing risks on individual assets and prioritizing preventive measures within large portfolios of commercial & residential real estate. Since 01/01/23, the EU Taxonomy has made prevention mandatory for insurers throughout Europe.
