Breeze Technolog's Story
In winter 2014, Breeze Technologies’ founder Robert Heinecke was exposed to heavy smog for the first time while working in Istanbul. Suffering health impacts like headaches, a burning throat and watering eyes himself, he studied current strategies cities use to measure and mitigate urban air pollution. Soon a picture became clear: Today’s decision makers do not have enough data to both track air quality extensively enough, as well as to judge the effectiveness and efficiency of mitigation strategies. The idea for Breeze Technologies was born: low-cost sensors combined with a smart data platform automatically analysing the gathered data.
