Treefera's innovative platform harnesses AI algorithms and an extensive tree database, mapping over one trillion trees globally. This vast repository is pivotal in tackling the persistent issues of measuring and validating carbon credits, which have historically undermined trust in the sector.
The funding round, led by AlbionVC, which has investments in tech firms like Ophelos and Gridcog, will help Treefera expand its team internationally and enhance its platform capabilities. By doing so, Treefera aims to cement its role as a crucial player in nature-based asset data management.
