IRCAI and AWS Launch Compute For Climate Fellowship to Fund New Tech Solutions Addressing the Climate Crisis<\/span> <\/div>\n

“At IRCAI, we believe that the climate crisis demands innovative, cross-sector solutions. By spearheading public-private partnerships, we aim to unite industry, government, and research leaders to push the boundaries of AI and research and development (R&D), in ways that directly combat climate change,” said Davor Orlic<\/span>, Chief Operating Officer of IRCAI. “The Compute for Climate Fellowship is built on the foundational pillars necessary for impactful AI innovation in addressing climate change: substantial compute resources, dedicated R&D, and cutting-edge talent, while access to advanced computing power enables the data-intensive demands of AI, it is equally vital to pair this with rigorous R&D alongside the expertise of industry leaders. This combination creates a forward-looking partnership model that harnesses technology for maximum impact. Together, we’re building a robust foundation that empowers innovators to create scalable, sustainable solutions for our climate.”<\/p>\n

With\u00a0<\/a>3.6 billion<\/a><\/u> people already living in areas highly susceptible to climate change, solutions for the climate crisis are an urgent need. The Compute for Climate Fellowship aims at empowering startups with access to advanced technologies and expert resources to create impactful solutions that can address the complex challenges created by climate change. Launched last year, the program has already helped the first four companies selected by the program to accelerate their research and development (R&D) process with no cost to them. The new cohort of companies selected from more than 100 applications from 22 countries are:<\/p>\n
