A year ago, wildlife intelligence was an idea we believed in. Today it’s running on real infrastructure, on three continents, protecting both people and animals. Here’s how 2025 unfolded — and where we go next.

Reflections on 2025: how wildlife intelligence became a global infrastructure layer.
Insights
When we started Flox Intelligence, the premise sounded almost naive: that instead of fighting wildlife with fences, noise, and force, we could understand how animals communicate and gently guide them away from danger. In 2025, that premise stopped being a thesis and became a category. Wildlife intelligence moved from pilot projects to a layer that infrastructure operators plan around.
From pilots to permanent infrastructure
This was the year deployments stopped being experiments. Edge units moved from short trials to season-long, always-on installations across airports, rail corridors, road networks, farmland, and industrial sites. The question we heard from operators changed too — from “does this work?” to “how fast can we scale it across our network?”
A global footprint
We grew from a Stockholm-rooted team into a company operating across Europe and North America, with our headquarters now in Syracuse, New York. Partnerships with operators like Alstom, the Swedish Transport Administration, and major airports turned local proof points into a global story — and showed that human–wildlife conflict is a shared problem everywhere infrastructure meets habitat.
The data compounds
Every deployment makes the next one smarter. Across the year, Edge logged tens of thousands of wildlife events across dozens of species — quietly building one of the world’s largest non-lethal wildlife datasets. That data is the real moat: each detection sharpens the models, and each season teaches the system to read the landscape a little better.
What 2026 holds
We end the year more convinced than ever that coexistence is an engineering problem we can solve. In 2026 we’ll deepen our North American expansion, broaden the species and environments Edge can handle, and keep building toward a future where critical infrastructure prevents conflict before it happens — where animal movement is respected and safer, and where people and wildlife finally share the same ground on purpose.
“For so many years we’ve been fighting wildlife. 2025 was the year we proved there’s another way — that we can listen, communicate, and build infrastructure that lets people and wildlife coexist.”
