Aqunia and Spectee signed a memorandum of understanding with the Gia Lai Department of Agriculture and Environment in Vietnam to deploy a flood forecasting and early warning system. The agreement follows record heavy rainfall in November 2025 that caused rivers to overflow and damaged homes and infrastructure in the central Vietnamese province.
The project is part of a demonstration adopted under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's FY2024 supplementary budget Global South Future-Oriented Co-creation Project Subsidy. Aqunia brings wide-area flood inundation forecasting based on JAXA and University of Tokyo's global water cycle simulation system Today's Earth, combined with its own localization technology. Spectee contributes real-time analysis of SNS, weather, camera, and satellite data plus AI-based water level prediction.
Technical cooperation comes from the Vietnam Academy for Water Resources. The companies and local authorities will begin full-scale demonstration in the province's river basins.
