What does your company do?

We use Drones , AI and GIS for Climate Change and Sustainability. We achieved that by focussing on Disaster Risk Management and Warning Systems for All. 1. We use drones to map areas that are prone to disasters especially flood and fires from vulnerable communities( Informal settlement and rural communities). We share all the vulnerabilities/ risks with the critical stakeholders such as municipalities, UN agencies, COGTA and and Corporates such as SANTAM to plan better to reduce the impact of loss of lives and infrastructure. 2. We train the unemployed youth around those vulnerable communities to be drone pilots specialising in Disaster Management ( Disaster Preparedness and Response) 3. We host Annual Drones , AI and GIS Conference in Disaster Risk Management . We have successfully hosted 3 annual instalments and SANTAM has been one of our Sponsors. 4. We are also in the early stages of manufacturing a sensor that could detect future disasters in partnership with CSIR . In a nutshell , we are into Disaster Risk Mitigation through drone mapping, offering STEAM education in the process whilst having a platform that brings together all the critical stakeholders such as policy makers , Corporates and UN agencies amongst others . We are currently building a product to support our services in Disaster Risk Mitigation.
