Startup Pitch @ Rise of AI

Posted in

The Rise of AI event is one of the leading global conference for AI. In Berlin, 2019 Rise of AI hosted over 800 investors, CEOs, researchers, politicians, entrepreneurs and enterprises. 

ESA participated with the AI demo: how to apply AI on Earth data. This demo, supported by the Φ-lab, focused on how to get insights out of satellite imagery with AI. The demo allowed selected AI start-ups seeking to exploit the opportunities brought by this disruptive domain, to present themselves through a set of talks.

LiveEO mastered the challenge of handling big data and showed how it is disrupting the utility sector. LiveEO uses satellite imagery to provide innovative infrastructure monitoring in the verticals railway, electricity and pipelines networks. It provides a solution which uses satellite data to identify risks to operations from vegetation, height changes and third party interaction along networks, enabling operators to work more efficiently.

Another startup, Bird.ai showed how they are giving customers insight into the degradation of their assets so they can proactively perform maintenance in order to keep them in top-condition. Their toolset contains artificial intelligence, machine learning, and predictive analytics. With this, Birds.ai creates intelligent analytical software for anomaly checks, functional statistics, and intelligent monitoring.
