Corporate values and vision of the business
• Innovation
From the very start Innovation has always been a priority and motivation for Meteomodem. Founded as a Research & Development start-up, Innovation has always been the company’s back bone, relying on high quality systems producing relevant data output.
Meteomodem has, since its specialization in the Upper Air Observation field, focused on improving the radiosounding state-of-the-art, making it more affordable and easier (in terms of procedures and operation) to democratize this crucial activity. We helped to foster this international niche market, enhancing the technology available and inspiring new players to break into the market.
• Cooperation and Partnership with clients and users
Meteomodem’s vision of business is not limited to negotiations, sales, and contracts, we keep close relationship with customers and partners, promoting collaboration and cooperation in order to match their demandes and anticipate their needs.
Flexibility and reactivity are part of the DNA of the company. The more we know our clients and the users of our systems the better we understand their needs. As consequence the more adapted and fitted our solutions will be, our main goal being to meet them and building mutual trust with our interlocutors.
• Environment protection and sustainable development
Working and evolving in the fast-changing fields meteorology and climatology, we are aware of the main coming challenges. Meteomodem has committed in the environment protection and sustainable development, this position is part of our ethic and vision of business. Through the development of the M20, Modem has drastically reduced the ecological impact of Upper Air Observation activity: this last generation of sonde with 1 single battery, a polystyrene volume divided by 4, electronic circuit surface divided by 2, only 36 g. Again, our production process is of course fully compliant with REACH & RoHS standards and of course the UE rules (EC label)
Alongside our French Prometeo partners, we are all focused on building a more ethical and resilient meteorological solutions. The better illustration is our strategy with our longtime partner SAGIM, specialized in developing hydrogen generators (water electrolysis, we have been fostering and promoting the automation of radiosonde systems (stand-alone solution) using H2 produced locally through a clean process to replace the use of Helium, a non-renewable, rare and expensive natural gas.

WMO
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is an intergovernmental organization with a membership of 193 Member States and Territories. It originated from the International Meteorological Organization (IMO), the roots of which were planted at the 1873 Vienna International Meteorological Congress. Established by the ratification of the WMO Convention on 23 March 1950, WMO became the specialised agency of the United Nations for meteorology (weather and climate), operational hydrology and related geophysical sciences a year later. The Secretariat, headquartered in Geneva, is headed by the Secretary-General. Its supreme body is the World Meteorological Congress.
