Fathom

Fathom’s work using geospatial data and algorithms to transform the world of flood modeling is tackling a huge and growing challenge. Flooding has caused $2 trillion worth of damages since 1950 and in 2020, five of the six deadliest events were seasonal floods — in India, Pakistan, Nepal, China and Bangladesh. Fathom’s technology (used by insurers, development agencies, conservation agencies, emergency responders and multinationals) is the first to factor future climate change for multiple time horizons into its models rather than relying solely on historic records. Its models predict flood risk at a 90-metre resolution for over 220 countries around the world: regions traditionally considered ‘data-scarce’ now have information on their flood risk available. The technology is niche, it’s complex, and it could well save thousands of lives.

Hitachi Vantara

Hitachi Vantara’s partnership with NGO Rainforest Connection helps protect vital natural ecosystems using the world’s first platform for generating real-time data on deforestation activity. Rainforest Connection’s tree-based digital mics detect the sounds of illegal logging in real-time and alert rangers, but too often by the time responders had arrived, the damage was done. Hitachi Vantara’s Lumada data analytics technologies works on the principle that the “bio-acoustic signature” of a rainforest area changes dramatically even before deforestation begins: species that are typically quiet send alarm calls and species that are typically vocal go quiet. By helping Rainforest Connection spot deviations from the baseline, it helps predict with 96% accuracy, up to five days in advance, when the chainsaws are going to start rumbling.

The two also built a low code app to help improve comms with its charity network and direct food most effectively.
