Cornea

Overview

Cornea is a company developing predictive analytics and data tools for wildfire planning, ecological management, and risk assessment for land managers and emergency responders[2]. The company leverages advanced AI and machine learning to turn real-time wildfire data into actionable insights, delivering wildfire intelligence and land management tools for risk management and long-term resilience at scale[3]. Cornea's product suite includes Beacon, which models fire and smoke behavior in real time for response planning and prescribed burns with a GIS interface; Wildfire Explorer, which tracks active fires across the continental US, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico; and LandMapper for land management and treatment planning[4]. The company targets both the public sector, including wildfire leaders, stakeholders and Incident Command Teams, and private-sector organizations needing to understand how wildfire and climate change affect operations, infrastructure and financial risk[7]. Cornea announced in January 2023 that it had secured a second SBIR grant from the USDA[5], and launched Wildfire Explorer for public use in September 2024[6].
