Komunidad Strengthens Global Presence with the Acquisition of Databourg
November 15, 2024 - Singapore - Komunidad is pleased to announce the acquisition of Databourg, a Luxembourg-based environmental data analytics company. This strategic move marks a significant milestone in Komunidad’s ongoing international growth strategy, significantly strengthening its presence in Europe and expanding its environmental data monitoring coverage worldwide.
Databourg is known for its rainfall intelligence system that leverages satellite terminals and telco signals. It is currently processing data from over 50,000 terminals within the Philippines, Indonesia, and Brazil. Their alignment with Komunidad’s Climate Action Platform and comprehensive service offerings—including Environmental Intelligence and Early Warning Systems—will further expand the range of services available to our newly combined customer base.
Databourg will now rebrand as Databourg, a Komunidad company.
RainVision, the SaaS rainfall monitoring system jointly developed by Databourg and Komunidad, has been completed and is now available in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Brazil. It will soon be available in other countries.
Komunidad COO and Co-Founder Allister Ayque said the synergy between Komunidad and Databourg came naturally. “We have known Databourg since we were just starting Komunidad, and we have developed good relationships with them over the years. We've done a lot of joint developments and experienced customer success and social impact within many communities in the Philippines.”
Felix Ayque, Komunidad CEO and Co-Founder, expressed confidence that this new venture will benefit their customer base and many communities, especially those in areas identified as most climate-vulnerable.
“Databourg’s data network, data science, AI, machine learning, and space tech expertise will provide our clients with better quality and enhanced services. We strongly believe the science and quality of our products will be strengthened with this synergy from the Europe team, while we can enhance service delivery and customer experience through our Asia team,” Felix said.
Ahmad, CEO of Databourg, added: “We are thrilled to join Komunidad in this new venture, building on our strong partnership over the years. By working closely together to serve customers across Southeast Asia, we have seen how our companies complement one another. This acquisition is a natural step forward, allowing us to combine our strengths and extend our reach. As we integrate Databourg’s environmental data analytics with Komunidad’s Climate Action Platform, we look forward to providing enhanced services to communities worldwide and driving sustainable impact.”
Felix concluded: “By leveraging the strengths and resources of both organizations, we will deliver even greater value and innovative solutions to the market.”
“One thing is for certain, Komunidad is now global.”
Komunidad’s recently launched Climate Action Hub in Asia, located in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, will serve as the base of its Asia operations, while in 2025, Databourg’s Luxembourg office will be positioned as its Climate Action Hub in Europe.
