Real climate impact through reinvented forestry management & machinery
Beyond being a great place for picking mushrooms, hiking, or just relaxing, the forest is key to our sustainable future. It is a great source of biomaterials and a carbon sink. And forestry – the caring for and tending of our cherished forests – can be vastly improved!
We have reinvented forestry from scratch. Instead of having 15-ton diesel-guzzling machines on the ground, we do it all from the air with lightweight and high-capacity electric drones.
This is one of the best and fastest ways to take a large (many gigaton) chunk out of the world’s carbon emissions while contributing to healthy and beautiful forests with more biodiversity.
Our approach also drastically improves the work environment for the operators taking care of our forests. Happier forestry workers and forests, happier planet!
Reinvent forestry with our great team
We have a world class organization in scale up, technology and flight, to build a new way to manage forests to help solve the climate and biodiversity crises. And we’re having a lot of fun doing it!
As a hands-on, experimental, and outdoorsy bunch, we focus on getting things done. We're quality-oriented, problem-solving, fact-based, kind, open and ask lots of questions. Sounds like a group you’d have a good time with?
There’s currently about 33 of us and we are always on the lookout for the best and brightest!

Space to innovate
We just moved into new offices where we have over 10 meters to the ceiling so we can fly indoors, good lab space for construction and indoor flight testing, and space for everyone to work together. It is located on Danmarksgatan 26, just south of Uppsala's city center.
We also have a 10 000 hectares of forest and an air field for testing next to our co-founder’s solar-powered farm near Uppsala. We love the forest and want to spend lots of time in it. After all, the forest is our real customer!
We all meet in Uppsala at least 3-4 days per week (depending on the role). You choose freely where to work from on the remaining days - we have people commuting from all over. We have a part-time office at Norrsken House, Stockholm.
We have regular offsite activities with everyone to team-build and workshop our strategy. Most recently we were at Krägga Herrgård, enjoying some time together outside of our AirForestry House. We had different brainstorming sessions, pentathlon with a twist and unleashed the avid sauna gene within us. Previous offsites activities have been at Gimo Herrgård, our cofounder's farm, visiting Skogforsk's automation lab and cooked together. We like fun social activities, celebrating both small and large victories, and having a beer after a good day’s work.

About AirForestry
We build cutting edge forestry technology that helps solve the climate and biodiversity crises. Our mission is to contribute to a substantial positive change by creating better forests for everyone.
Forestry is a long-term project. What is harvested today was tended by previous generations, and what is planted today will be harvested by our grandchildren.
AirForestry provides solutions for thinning forests with the help of
electric drones that can harvest trees from the air. AirForestry reduces
the need for access roads, eliminates the consumption of diesel, and
provides a better working environment for those who work in the forest.
We have paying customers and great partnerships. See our main website for more information.
