Our software contributes to sustainable development and
environmental protection in various ways, regardless of the sector
we support. There are four core categories of impact. Firstly, we
accelerate energy production and facilitate the design and

operation of electric infrastructure, including transmission and
distribution. Secondly, we address climate action, focusing on
resilience, adaptation, and mitigation. We play a significant role in

decarbonizing infrastructure, reducing carbon footprints,
enhancing design efficiency, and optimizing construction
processes.

This saves time, costs, and resources and reduces carbon
emissions. In operations, we continue to reduce carbon footprints
by increasing efficiencies, extracting insights from data, and

identifying areas for improvement, such as reducing energy or water consumption. Our software supports climate
resilience and adaptation, offering tools for flood modeling, structural design analysis, and testing materials for
resilience to extreme weather events.

We conduct these tests during the design phase, avoiding potential issues during construction. We also provide software
for monitoring and inspection, which is particularly valuable as extreme weather events become more frequent,

increasing risks to existing infrastructure, especially older structures like dams and bridges.

Our software enables virtual inspections of critical infrastructure, combining IoT and AI for crack detection and issue

identification. We apply a data-driven approach to electric and water grids, ensuring system integrity and identifying
anomalies for prompt action to reduce water losses.

Lastly, our software aids in land and water resource management. We closely link land and water resources because they
are interconnected. We focus on understanding soil and ground conditions efficiently to conserve land resources and
prevent water pollution, ultimately contributing to environmental protection and sustainability.

We also have a fourth category, which we refer to as “healthy cities and communities.” This category primarily focuses
on large urban areas. Our software is adept at supporting the integration of various systems within such cities. In urban
environments, it’s not just about singular focuses like water or transportation; there’s a need for greater connectivity. The

transportation sector, which I previously mentioned, plays a vital role in creating healthy and interconnected cities and
communities. It’s essential to facilitate sustainable and resilient connections that enhance the quality of life, health, and
well-being of residents.

In a smart city, data aggregation and visualization are crucial. It’s essential to collect and present data effectively for
decision-makers and stakeholders, including local communities. Therefore, we offer tools for data aggregation and

visualization to support informed decision-making and community engagement.
