Palantir partners with Tomorrow.io to provide AI-powered weather forecasts

Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) has partnered with Tomorrow.io, a provider of artificial intelligence-powered weather predictions, to pursue joint, go-to-market opportunities for clients in the defense, government and enterprise sectors.

A critical component of the partnership allows Tomorrow.io to join Palantir’s FedStart program. This means Tomorrow.io can offer its services to U.S. federal employees and scale operations within the federal government through a streamlined process. Other members of the Palantir FedStart program include Anthropic, Grafana Labs and Virtualitics.

“We built FedStart to accelerate the government’s ability to leverage the best, most innovative technologies as they emerge,” said Palantir’s head of defense, Mike Gallagher. “By enabling the federal workforce to take advantage of Tomorrow.io while ensuring strict adherence to the compliance and security requirements for processing U.S. government data, we are excited to help increase productivity and efficacy across government.”

The Boston-based Tomorrow.io was founded in 2016. It utilizes space-based observations and AI forecasts to provide weather modeling. It will be embedded into Palantir’s “battle-tested decision engines” to give an operational advantage to government agencies and enterprises in dealing with extreme weather events.

“In the age of AI, whoever owns the data owns the future, and our partnership with Palantir unlocks a new level of resilience for the world,” said Tomorrow.io CEO and co-founder Shimon Elkabetz. “As the only full-stack weather company with proprietary data from space, operational-grade AI modeling and agentic intelligence, we are defining the next generation of decision-making and competitive advantage with a truly synergetic partner in Palantir.”

The U.S. experienced 27 weather and climate disasters in 2024 that created $1B or more in damages. These totaled nearly $183B and caused 568 fatalities, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It ranked as the fourth-costliest year on record.

Palantir shares have surged 84% year to date. This is nearly eight times stronger than the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (BATS:IGV).
