Metro Weather Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Uji, Kyoto; President & CEO: Jun-ichi Furumoto; hereinafter “Metro Weather”) develops and manufactures 3D wind observation product (Doppler LiDAR) that visualizes wind gusts and turbulence in real time, which is essential information for flying cars and drones to operate, take off and land safely and securely.

In the Startup category of the CEATEC AWARD 2023, we have been awarded the “Small and High Performance Portable Doppler Li DAR to Support Air Mobility Society,” which can cover not only future solutions such as drones and air mobility, but also the “critical 11 minutes” during takeoff and landing of aircraft.
The “Wind Visualization” was highly evaluated and won the Grand Prix in the Startup category for its contribution to the safety of the skies in which it is currently operating, such as its ability to cover the “magic 11 minutes” during aircraft takeoff and landing.
