Expertise to protect your forest
VerdeAI Oy is a Finnish forestry expert company founded in 2025. We operate in the Savo-Karelia region and help forest owners, forestry companies and organisations make decisions faster, more accurately and more cost-effectively.
Forest damage caused by the European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) has increased in recent years as a result of climate warming and periods of drought, which makes regular forest monitoring and rapid response more important than ever.
Our experts are supported by modern, versatile software that reduces the need for fieldwork, speeds up inspections and produces precise geospatial data to support decisions on control measures – cost-effectively and reliably.
