Tiago Morais is CTO at OWLplaces, where he leads technology strategy, product development, artificial intelligence, satellite data applications and climate-risk modelling. 🛰️

With more than 10 years of experience in geospatial technologies, Earth Observation and AI, Tiago has built his career at the intersection of science, technology and real-world impact.

He holds a PhD in Environmental Sciences and has a research background at Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon. 🎓
Alongside his academic and technical experience, Tiago has also been involved in the development of technology startups, helping transform research-driven ideas into practical digital products.

At OWLplaces, his work is central to building the technological foundations that turn complex environmental, geospatial and asset-level data into decision-support tools for climate resilience. 🌍📊

Because climate intelligence only creates value when it becomes actionable.

17/09/2026

Innovation only matters when it creates measurable value. 📊

OWLplaces has been officially recognised by ANI — Portugal’s National Innovation Agency — with the R&D Seal (Selo ID) in two strategic areas:
🏙️ Smart Cities — Energy
💻 Information and Communication Technologies in Companies

For organisations with real estate portfolios, where physical assets are critical to business performance, this matters.

Yet the data needed to operate those assets better is often fragmented across departments, systems, sensors and isolated pilots.

⚡ Energy data
🌍 Climate risk
🏢 Building systems
💧 Water consumption
🛡️ Insurance information
♻️ Waste
🛠️ Maintenance records

Without proper integration, data fusion and intelligence, this information fails to become an asset.
It becomes archived data — dormant, consuming resources and adding to operational costs.

At OWLplaces, we transform fragmented physical-asset data into actionable intelligence that helps organisations:
⚡ Reduce energy, water, insurance and waste-related costs
📈 Improve operational efficiency
🏢 Identify vulnerabilities across real estate portfolios
🌪️ Reduce financial losses and downtime from extreme events
🛡️ Strengthen resilience to floods, storms, wildfires, earthquakes and other physical risks

This recognition from ANI reinforces our commitment to continuous R&D and to building technology that creates measurable impact for organisations whose physical assets are essential to their operations.

Turn your real estate data into decisions.

Make your portfolio more efficient, resilient and valuable.

6G is Coming. Are you ready? We are.

OWLplaces has been selected to join the 6G-VERSUS Venture Accelerator Program, becoming part of an international cohort representing 13+ countries.

This is particularly exciting for us because 6G is not just about faster connectivity. It is about enabling a new generation of real-time, data-intensive and intelligent infrastructure.

That is closely aligned with what we are building at OWLplaces: a cloud infrastructure capable of ingesting, fusing and extracting value from multimodal data in real time — turning signals from buildings, infrastructure, sensors, climate, energy and operations into actionable intelligence.

For Real Estate, this means more responsive, connected and adaptive assets.

For Critical Infrastructure, it means better situational awareness, resilience, prediction and decision-making.

A special thank you to Clara Luxo Correia and IPN for continuously creating opportunities that connect Portuguese innovation with international ecosystems.

6G is Coming.
Now the question is: what will it enable for your assets and infrastructure?

Let’s speak.

Scattered data?

Not on our watch. 🛡️

One of the biggest challenges in asset management today is not the lack of information — it is fragmentation.

🌍 Climate signals, asset characteristics and operational data often sit in different places, making it difficult for organizations to gain a clear view of risk, resilience and performance.

At OWLplaces, we connect climate and asset intelligence to transform scattered data into actionable insights. 📊

The result: better decisions, stronger resilience and greater long-term value across portfolios. 🏢📈

Because intelligence only creates impact when it works together.

OWLPlaces is proud to be part of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the University of Coimbra (Universidade de Coimbra)

We have been officially distinguished with the UC Spin-off Recognition. This recognition awarded by the
University of Coimbra through UC Business recognises companies that are
born from the knowledge, research, and entrepreneurial ecosystem of UC.

We were born from one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the world, and this recognition
reflects our commitment to transforming science into real market impact.

OWLPlaces is a science-based solution, built on documented data sources, transparent methodologies, and robust scientific foundations.

This recognition reinforces what is at the core of our approach: turning science into practical, decision-ready insights. Through science-based reporting and transition planning, we help companies understand and manage climate risks, strengthen sustainability performance, and define credible pathways towards a more resilient and sustainable future.

🌍 The European Central Bank just changed the economics of climate risk.

Not through a new ESG regulation.

Not through another reporting requirement.

💶 Through money.

The ECB has decided to extend climate factors from corporate bonds to eligible corporate loans used as collateral in Eurosystem refinancing operations.

What does this mean in practice?

Companies with higher climate risk, weaker transition plans and limited climate evidence may indirectly become less attractive from a financing perspective, as loans to those companies can be subject to additional climate-related valuation adjustments in the Eurosystem collateral framework.

⚠️ Climate risk is no longer just an environmental issue. It’s becoming a financial one.

At OWLplaces, we help organisations turn climate risk into climate resilience by:

📍 Measuring & Reporting climate risk at asset level.

🛠️ Planning & Guiding the most effective mitigation and adaptation measures.

✔️ Verifying the evidence needed to demonstrate resilience to banks, insurers and investors.

For companies still treating climate adaptation and decarbonisation as long-term ambitions rather than operational priorities...

This is the wake-up call.

Your transition plan.

Your emissions data.

Your climate disclosures.

These are no longer just sustainability metrics.

📈 They are increasingly financial metrics.

The companies that move first won’t just reduce climate risk.

They’ll be better positioned to access capital, negotiate financing, improve insurability and protect long-term asset value.

❓The question is no longer whether climate risk will influence finance.

✅ It already does.

The real question is:

Will your company be ready before the market fully prices it in?

For the past month, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming and Isaiah Sabiniano from the University of California, Berkeley to the OWLplaces team as part of the international internship program sponsored by Instituto Pedro Nunes

During their internship, Saba worked on simulating extreme wildfire events, while Isaiah focused on simulating extreme flood events.

Their work contributed to one of the core goals we pursue at OWLplaces: helping organizations understand where their assets are located, quantify how climate risks and extreme events could affect them, and identify what actions they can take to build resilience and sustainability.

The wildfire and flood simulations will help our clients gain tangible insights into their main vulnerabilities and identify where investment priorities should be placed to strengthen resilience.

Thank you, Saba and Isaiah, for your curiosity, dedication, and contribution to our mission. 🙌

The future of climate resilience is built with data, intelligence, and people willing to make an impact. 🌎💪
