AMIGO SRL

Their core work

AMIGO SRL is a Rome-based SME specializing in climate data analytics and climate risk services. They develop customized climate index products — particularly for agriculture insurance — and provide climate impact assessments across sectors including aviation and food-water-energy systems. Their core competence lies in translating complex climate science (tipping points, extreme event statistics, climate projections) into actionable decision-support tools for businesses and policymakers.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

AMIGO SRL started in 2017 with a focus on statistical analysis of climate extremes (CaseXtreme) and quickly moved into commercial climate index products for agriculture insurance (AMIGOclimate, 2019). From 2019 onward, their work shifted decisively toward applied climate services — tipping point science, aviation decarbonization, and climate adaptation for Africa — with increasing technical sophistication in Bayesian methods and decision theory. The trajectory shows a company moving from foundational climate statistics toward sector-specific, decision-oriented climate services.

AMIGO is evolving from a climate data analytics SME into a provider of tailored climate decision-support services across multiple sectors, with growing methodological depth in uncertainty quantification.

How they like to work

AMIGO SRL operates primarily as a participant in larger research consortia (4 of 6 projects), joining as a specialist climate analytics contributor rather than leading large teams. Their two coordinated projects were smaller-scale (SME instrument and a short RIA), suggesting they lead focused initiatives in their niche but prefer contributing specialized expertise to bigger efforts. With 63 unique partners across 24 countries, they are well-networked and comfortable working in diverse, multi-national consortia.

AMIGO has collaborated with 63 different partners across 24 countries, indicating a broad European and international network. Their FOCUS-Africa project demonstrates reach beyond Europe into Southern African partnerships.

What sets them apart

AMIGO SRL occupies an unusual niche as an SME that bridges fundamental climate science (tipping points, paleoclimate, bifurcation theory) with commercial applications (agriculture insurance, aviation operations, African climate services). Unlike academic groups, they focus on translating climate models into business-usable products; unlike large consultancies, they bring deep technical expertise in statistical methods and uncertainty quantification. Their ability to work across climate-agriculture, climate-aviation, and climate-development makes them a versatile partner for any consortium needing climate risk translated into sector-specific decisions.

Highlights from their portfolio

• FOCUS-Africa
  Their largest project by funding (EUR 465,369), addressing climate services for Southern Africa across the water-energy-food nexus — shows capacity for large-scale international climate service delivery.
• TiPES
  A high-profile Earth system science project on tipping points, connecting AMIGO to frontier climate research and advanced mathematical methods like bifurcation theory and Bayesian calibration.
• AMIGOclimate
  An SME Instrument Phase 1 project where AMIGO coordinated development of their own climate index insurance product — reveals their commercial ambitions beyond research.
