Founder & CEO
Satoru Demoto
He is a climate-tech entrepreneur with a unique background spanning science, consulting, and startups. He earned his Master’s degree in climate science at the University of Tokyo, conducting research on global warming mechanisms, and also became the youngest certified weather forecaster when he was 14 in Japan.
He then worked at PwC and Arthur D. Little as a strategy consultant, leading projects on advanced technologies such as AI. As Chief Strategy Officer of the AI startup Araya, he drove business development and organizational growth.
In 2022, he co-founded Gaia Vision, where he launched climate risk and flood prediction platforms adopted by leading manufacturers and recognized with the Minister of the Environment Award in 2023.
In 2025, he founded Aqunia to deliver next-generation water risk solutions worldwide, building on his track record of turning cutting-edge research into practical, impactful services.
Our Story
Turn cutting-edge science into practical solutions that help humanity coexist with water in the age of climate change
Aqunia was founded with a simple yet urgent mission: to help humanity coexist with water in the age of climate change.
Global temperatures are rising, and with them, the risks of extreme weather. Heavy rainfall brings devastating floods, while prolonged droughts threaten water security. These challenges are not abstract—they claim thousands of lives each year and disrupt communities and industries worldwide.
Our founder, Satoru Demoto, has been deeply engaged with these issues since becoming Japan’s youngest certified weather forecaster at 14. During his research at the University of Tokyo, he studied the mechanisms of climate change and realized that the intensification of floods was not just a scientific projection but an inevitable reality. Witnessing actual disasters—where lives were lost simply because warnings failed to trigger action—left him with a strong sense of responsibility and urgency.
Aqunia was born from this conviction: that cutting-edge science and AI must be translated into practical systems that truly support decision-making on the ground. By combining global river simulations, AI-based rainfall prediction, and collaborative partnerships with governments and industries, we are building solutions that not only predict floods but empower people to act in time.
Our story is still unfolding, but our vision is clear: a world where advanced prediction systems reduce disaster impacts, safeguard lives, and enable communities to benefit from water’s abundance while avoiding its dangers.
