Stratio Automotive is a Portuguese startup founded in 2017 by Ricardo Margalho and Rui Sales. The startup transforms vehicle data into predictive intelligence. Stratio acts as a technology provider to transport companies that need to manage efficiently their transport fleets. Stratio is boosting the next revolution in the transport industry. Their technology empowers fleet operators as well with predictable operations, communicating vehicle failures before they happen. Early fault detection allows operators to monitor vehicle health in real-time, decreasing downtime and reducing Total Cost of Ownership.

There is an unused potential that stratosphere can provide us for exploring our universe because thick bottom atmosphere blocks out most of the infrared wavelengths. Currently the cost for obtaining infrared data is high because the only method is observation from satellites. Also, the number of orbital infrared observatories is low so this makes the procedure for obtaining customer-specific data is very time-consuming. The advantage of stratosphere observation by Stratosyst is that space sky can be observed for an extremely long period of time in conditions comparable to space satellites for a fraction of the cost. Moreover, the hardware will be recovered after the end of each mission. The prototype will be a fully functional infrared observatory which will stay in the stratosphere (higher than 20km) and maintain the position over extended period of time. Position of the platform will be feedback-controlled by GNSS data.
