Palantir (PLTR, Financial) is teaming up with weather specialist Tomorrow.io to bring AI-driven forecasts straight into government and enterprise operations via Palantir's FedStart program.
That means federal teams can tap Tomorrow.io's satellite-powered predictions through a pre-vetted, compliance-friendly channel.Tomorrow.io, which launched in 2016, uses spaceābased sensors and AI models to warn of extreme weather.
Embedding those insights into Palantir's decision-making platforms could help agencies plan for storms, floods and wildfires before they strike.
Last year the U.S. saw 27 weather disasters that each caused over a billion dollars in damage, totaling about $183 billion and leading to 568 fatalities. With that kind of risk on the line, having up-to-date, high-accuracy forecasts could be a game-changer for emergency response and infrastructure planning.
Palantir shares have climbed 84 percent so far this year, nearly eight times the gain of the iShares Expanded Tech-Software ETF. Investors will be watching to see if this partnership helps Palantir expand its government footprint and deliver on its AI-powered resilience story.
