Augment City
A picture says a 1000s words. If this is the case how many words can be show in a simulation/digital-twin? Humans are visual, creative creatures, we can absorb information extremely fast when we see it in a visual format. Computers are amazing at processing and sorting data, (better than any humans). If we let machines and humans do what they are good at and create a bridge between them, a digital-twin we can change the world. Creating this for a full city and augmenting existing bigdata allows us to speed up time by at least a factor of 10.
Bumbee Labs
There is a huge interest in data regarding how people move in different areas. COVID has have a cathalyst effect on this, but to measure people movement is nothing new. Traditionally cameras and laser counters are used by retail stores.
Many Telcos are looking for new revenue streams and are looking to sell their own cellular tower data. This data is used to understand macro movement such as how people are traveling from city to city. Normally the resolution of this macro data is 500×500 meter, due to how the cellular towers are located.
But for the macro data to be really interesting to retailers, shopping malls, smart cities etc MICRO data is needed. This is where Bumbee Labs comes in. We provide micro data using wifi access points. Normally the resolution of this micro data is 5×5 meter, due to how the wifi access points are located.
Ducky
We make digital tools to help individuals reduce their carbon footprints. We have developed a unique suite of products for municipalities to track their citizens’ footprints via our Ducky Public interactive map, consumer companies to share climate data with their customers via our Ducky Data APIs, and schools and companies to engage in behavior-changing activities via our Ducky Championships gamification platform.
GreenBytes
GreenBytes uses artificial intelligence to help food retailers reduce their food waste and maximize their profit. We predict how much food they will sell in the coming days based on their past sales, weather, and holidays. Using this prediction of what they will sell in the coming days we suggest how much food the retailer should order. We also allow retailers to place their orders to all of their distributors in one place all at once.
Nivel
Micromobility services are overcrowding streets. While the services are a good attribution to existing transport options, the city needs to balance a limited resource, the public space. With digital regulations – including microtransactions as incentives – cities can get tidier and safer streets, while getting a better mobility service and increasing income.
