AiDash is an artificial intelligence (AI)-first, satellite-powered vertical enterprise SaaS company serving critical infrastructure operators in energy, addressing wildfire and storm risk, vegetation management, and biodiversity. Climate change is intensifying extreme weather events, such as storms, wildfires, flooding, and heat stress, leading to disruptions, damage, and financial losses across utilities, transportation, and water systems. AiDash addresses this challenge by equipping infrastructure owners with satellite-powered AI solutions to anticipate and respond to climate risks. Using high-resolution satellite imagery and proprietary machine learning models, the company enables proactive vegetation management, wildfire risk mitigation, and asset health monitoring, reducing outages and extending infrastructure lifespan as climate volatility threatens system reliability. AiDash also utilizes satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to help industries comply with Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) mandates and achieve carbon capture goals.

WayCool Foods is India’s only full-stack, tech-led food supply chain company. Climate change threatens agricultural productivity through reduced crop yields from higher temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events, with India experiencing devastating droughts, heat waves, and storms that cause major crop losses and disrupt food distribution. Meanwhile, India’s traditional agri-supply chain is highly fragmented and inefficient, with post-harvest losses estimated at $14 billion annually. WayCool addresses these challenges through a vertically integrated, data-driven supply chain that reduces food waste, enhances food security, improves farmer livelihoods, and avoids GHG emissions associated with food loss.
