    Swedish Startup EcoVibes Turns Forest Sounds into Biodiversity Data

    SLU doctoral students Christian Höök and Mathias Kristoferqvist launched EcoVibes from Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. Their AI software identifies species—capercaillie, three-toed woodpecker, and others—by analyzing audio from sensors placed in forests, no field visits required. Having already processed 2,700+ hours of recordings, the startup has joined BizMaker's incubator and is running pilots with forestry companies and government agencies.
