Insight Terra, an AI-powered startup founded in 2021 by Alistair Bovim, is rapidly gaining a reputation as a leader in climate risk management and sustainability in Africa. It presently focuses on the mining and renewable energy sectors in response to the escalating impacts of climate change stalking many African countries.
Insight Terra has deployed an AI-driven platform selling access to the following technologies:
* Edge-to-cloud IIoT data streaming,
* AI-powered analytics data
* Cloud computing
* Microservices architecture
* Agile DevSecOps methodology
* Open API
* Satellite communications
This combination of technologies enables Insight Terra to deliver safety and environmental management services. For example, mining companies rely on the platforms to track tailings from dam processing, helping prevent catastrophic failures like the Brumadinho dam collapse in Brazil.
Insight Terra also offers space-based monitoring systems in partnership with Synspective. This allows clients to utilize satellite and earth observations to track and measure high-risk tailings dams.
Prospects
As climate challenges increase, the market and impact of Terra products and services on the environment has a high potential to increase. By coupling cutting-edge technology with environmental stewardship, this startup is reshaping how African industries approach sustainability and risk management in the face of global environmental challenges.
