A decade building what Brazil needed

From our founding in 2016 to today, every step has been guided by the same purpose: putting technology between fire and what matters.

2016

Founded as Sintecsys

The company is founded with a focus on detection technology for critical environments. The first systems are developed and field-tested.

2019

Rebranding to umgrauemeio

The new name reflects the commitment to the 1.5 °C climate goal and positions the company in the climatetech space. The mission expands to fire prevention at a territorial scale.

2020

Pantanal Tragedy — and the Response

The world's largest wetland loses 26% of its area to fire. Serra do Amolar is 97% devastated. The event catalyzes the creation of what would become the Abrace o Pantanal program.

2021

Brazil's First Forest Green Bond

umgrauemeio issues the first green bond in Brazil certified by the Climate Bonds Initiative under forest criteria — validating climate integrity and positive forest impact.

2022

Abrace o Pantanal and B Corp Certification

The program is born as a response to the 2020 tragedy. Simultaneously, the company receives the international B Corporation certification for its commitment to sustainability, governance and social impact.

2023

Global Recognition

Three international recognitions in one year: Top Innovator by the World Economic Forum, EY Impact Entrepreneur of the Year, and winner of the Brazil Climate Summit Challenge.

2024

National Expansion and UN Award

Operations across 8 states, growing from 3 to 11 active fronts. The Abrace a Floresta project receives the AI for Good — Best Environmental Impact Award from the International Telecommunication Union (UN).

2025

Global Recognition at Mobile World Congress

Abrace a Floresta is highlighted at the MWCapital Horizon Awards at Mobile World Capital Barcelona, aligning technology and innovation with the SDGs. umgrauemeio consolidates its position as an international reference in fire prevention.
