Norwegian Climate-Tech Startup Spoor Raises €8M Series A to Scale AI Wildlife Protection for Wind Energy

Spoor, a Norway-based climate-technology company, has secured €8 million in Series A funding to expand its AI-powered platform for real-time monitoring of birds and bats around wind farms. The round was led by SET Ventures, with strategic participation from EnBW New Ventures, Ørsted Ventures, and Superorganism, alongside returning investors Futurum Ventures and Norway’s state-owned climate fund Nysnø.

Founded in 2020 by CEO Ask Helseth and CTO Helge Reikerås, Spoor develops computer-vision software that integrates directly with wind farm control systems, enabling automated mitigation actions such as shutdown-on-demand to meet tightening biodiversity regulations. The company supports major energy operators including Ørsted, RWE, Vattenfall, TotalEnergies, Equinor, GE, and Fugro. The new capital will fund team growth, deeper system integrations, and international expansion as AI-driven biodiversity monitoring becomes standard across the wind sector.
