Natcap, officially known as Natcap Research, is a London-based company focused on environmental risk management and reporting. Founded in 2018 by Professor Baroness Kathy Willis and others at the University of Oxford, Natcap operates as a cloud-native geospatial data platform. The company aims to integrate nature intelligence into business decision-making, assisting organizations in understanding their interactions with the natural environment.

Natcap provides advisory services and a technology platform that helps businesses measure, report, and act on nature-related risks and opportunities. The platform employs advanced scientific models to assess carbon storage, biodiversity, and hydrology at high resolutions. This enables organizations to estimate carbon and biodiversity credits and quantify risks such as flooding and water scarcity. Natcap has collaborated with major organizations, including Tescos Nature Programme and MS&AD Insurance Group Holdings, and has received government support to expand into the Japanese market. The company has raised significant funding to support its growth and mission of promoting a nature-positive future.
