2025 in review: first bird protection systems in South Korea and Romania, 400+ installations and a new home
2025 was a milestone year for IRIDA AI Technologies, with several firsts for the company and for bird protection in wind energy.
South Korea: the country's first bird protection system
IRIDA installed a Bird Protect™ Environmental system at the 532 MW ANMA offshore wind project, where it already collects bird activity data. It is IRIDA's first installation in South Korea and the first bird monitoring system ever installed in the country. 38 Bird Protect™ Offshore systems will follow for the same project.
Romania: another national first
At the Săkele wind farm, IRIDA installed 12 Bird Protect™ systems, the first bird monitoring and protection systems in Romania.
Growth across Europe
During 2025, IRIDA installed dozens of systems in Italy, Spain, Romania, Greece, France and Lithuania, passing 400 Bird Protect™ installations worldwide.
A new home for IRIDA
In December 2025, IRIDA moved into new headquarters with 800 m² of offices, warehouse space, an in-house laboratory, a gym and a chill-out room for the team.
Looking ahead to 2026
The year starts with confirmed projects at 3 wind farms in France, 2 in Greece and 2 in Spain, with more to be announced.
Thank you to our partners, clients and the whole IRIDA team. We enter 2026 stronger than ever.
