PARIS, 23 OCTOBER 2025 — Kayrros Wildfire Risk Monitor, a state-of-the-art fire prediction tool, has been named on TIME’s list of Best Inventions for 2025. The tool, developed by the world leader in energy and environmental intelligence, brings together geospatial analytics, data fusion, machine learning, AI and ground-level data to gauge the risk of fires, their spread, and the extent of the damage done.
TIME Best Inventions, now in its 25th year, honours world-changing innovations from around the globe and has previously included household-name inventions like YouTube, ChatGPT, Google Street View, and the iPhone, as well as scientific breakthroughs including the Covid-19 vaccine. Kayrros, previously recognised for its ‘World Changing Ideas’, has gained its reputation as one of the most forward-thinking and creative companies working at the intersection of AI, energy and the environment today.
Last year, Kayrros developed a powerful RAG LLM called KayrrosAI, which allows users to navigate the firm’s award-winning Methane Watch tool using text-based prompts. It recently teased a powerful, first-of-its-kind biodiversity platform, set to be announced imminently.
Antoine Rostand, President and Co-founder of Kayrros, thanked TIME for the awardd: ‘At Kayrros, we’re always aiming to push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI, analytics, and energy and environmental intelligence. For that to be recognised is very satisfying.
‘TIME has a rich tradition of spotlighting the inventions that will shape our future. We’re honoured to be featured in a ranking that has included innovations like the Covid vaccines and the iPhone. We’d like to thank the judges. But the credit for this goes to our team.’
The Wildfire Risk Monitor is used by a range of insurers, emergency services, governments, and others.
Kayrros uses AI and geoanalytics to turn raw satellite data into actionable, real-time insights into energy, supply chains, physical risks, the natural world, and climate-related disasters, working with public and private sector entities to make energy systems more efficient, improve supply security, boost climate resilience, and manage environmental impact.
The company was a key stated influence behind the Global Methane Pledge and the EU’s landmark methane laws, and is a trusted, long-term partner of the UN IMEO, IEA and major companies worldwide.
Now with offices in Paris, Houston, New York, London, Bangalore and Singapore, Kayrros has been at the centre of developments in artificial intelligence in Europe and further afield. Its machine-learning and remote-sensing foundation models combine ease of use and intelligibility with speed of analysis and granularity of insights.
‘We don’t develop technology for its own sake,’ added Rostand. ‘We build tools that the world needs.’
