AURAIA is proud and honoured to have been selected as N°1 startup in the Climate Kic Switzerland accelerator competition !

Climate Kic is the Europe’s largest public-private innovation partnership focused on climate change, consisting of dynamic companies, the best academic institutions and the public sector.

Climate-KIC is one of three Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) created in 2010 by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). The EIT is an EU body whose mission is to create sustainable growth. Climate-Kic supports this mission by addressing climate change mitigation and adaptation. It integrate education, entrepreneurship and innovation resulting in connected, creative transformation of knowledge and ideas into economically viable products or services that help to mitigate climate change.

AURAIA is proud and honored to announce its acceptance as an “Actor” in the UN Environment-hosted Climate and Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (CCAC).

Founded in 2012, The Coalition brings together nations, institutions, organizations and companies to reduce short-lived climate pollutants with the aim of addressing near-term climate change and air pollution, and to improve people’s health, increase food security, enhance energy efficiency, and alleviate poverty. The Coalition supports 11 initiatives to reduce Short Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs): Diesel, Oil & Gas, Waste, Bricks, HFC, Household Energy, Agriculture, SNAP, Finance, Assessments and Health.

SLCPs have a relatively short lifetime in the atmosphere, and therefore determined efforts to mitigate them now can significantly reduce their concentrations in a relatively short period of time.

AURAIA will actively participate in the CCAC’s Finance initiative in helping to build the Coalition’s finance knowledge and capacity on equity markets with its innovative Quantum Artificial Intelligence platform to catalyze investment in SLCP abatement.

The 6th Stranded Assets Forum: From disclosure to data towards a new consensus for the future of measuring environmental risk and opportunity will be held on 6 & 7 April 2017 at Waddesdon Manor in UK.

The first day of the forum will focus on developing a new consensus on the role of asset-level data, big data, and advanced analytics in shaping company, investor, and regulator responses to environmental risk and opportunity. The second day will host the inaugural meeting of the Asset-level Data Initiative (ADI) and will focus on how to realise the ambition of making accurate, comparable, and comprehensive asset-level data tied to ownership publicly available across key sectors and geographies.

AURAIA is pleased to receive this invitation and share its perspective during this unique event to measure the environmental risk and opportunities of energy facilities.
