As Croatia ramps up renewable energy under the European Green Deal, strict permitting requirements now mandate detailed environmental impact assessments, particularly for wind farms near Natura 2000 sites. IdentiFlight's real-time bird detection and automated turbine curtailment capabilities help developers meet these standards, reducing permitting risk while protecting high-concern species such as Eurasian griffons, honey buzzards, short-toed snake eagles, golden eagles, and kestrels.

"IdentiFlight is a proven solution that aligns with our mission to harmonize development with nature conservation," said Dalibor Hati?, general manager of Oikon Ltd. "We're excited to bring this cutting-edge technology to Croatia and the broader Southeast European region where wind energy is expanding and biodiversity protection is critical. Our goal is to ensure that wind development can thrive without compromising our common natural heritage."

"Partnering with Oikon Ltd. enhances our ability to deliver conservation-driven technology where it's most needed," said Don Mills, President and Chief Operating Officer of Boulder Imaging. "Together, we're advancing the role of AI in biodiversity protection and accelerating responsible wind energy growth in Croatia and beyond."

With more than 520 systems deployed across five continents, IdentiFlight has reduced bird fatalities by over 85% while maintaining a power generation loss of less than 1% in wind farms. The first systems in Croatia are planned for 2026, with an initial focus on sensitive migratory corridors and ecologically valuable terrain.

AI that protects biodiversity. Ecology that drives progress.
