For our first #ChangeNOW2020 highlight, Elise Van Middelem tells us about SUGi, the global platform for urban #rewilding. Through SUGi, people can bring #forests back into the city, by funding existing rewilding projects all over the world, or starting their own.
It should come as no surprise that we at foldAI love this project. Check SUGi out!

And we’re back from #changenow2020! What we have found: a great crowd, amazing ideas, and a felt sense that there’s a whole movement out there constantly pushing for a cleaner, fairer and more #sustainable world.
Many have fallen in love with our #aja, and we have similarly fallen in #love with many of the people and ideas gathered at ChangeNOW from all over the globe. We bring them to you via our ChangeNOW 2020 highlights video series!

Getting ready for @ChangeNow!
We are happy to tell you that we have been selected to pitch at @ChangeNOW, the world’s largest gathering of solutions for the planet with more than 1,000 solutions and 20,000 participants from 100+ countries. There, we will present Aja: our #IoT platform for #sustainableforestry.

A lil game for you!
Where’s Wally uuh… Aja?
For Christmas, we got the best: a connection to trees through our new Aja sensors deployed! With our monitoring, we will gather knowledge about the forest to improve its management.

To all our German speaking followers: our interview with Hochsprung - the Bavarian higher education entrepreneurial network - is out!
We thank Antje Lenkmann for having us on the Gründerinterview series.

This evening we’ll be pitching at the MINI pavillion in Munich’s city center, together with the other teams in batch 6 of the XPRENEURS incubator for high-tech startups. For the first time, we’ll show a full prototype of our board and casing. Big day for us.
And to top it off, here’s a bonus picture of Jake soldering some of our electronics at UnternehmerTUM MakerSpace, because pictures bring more visualizations on LinkedIn posts, and Jake will hate it, so it’s a win-win!

Why is protecting the western capercaillie so important?
This is what we learned two weeks ago during our French pilot Kick off in the Regional Natural Park “Ballons des Vosges”.
We were excited to meet with amazing foresters who are doing a great conservation job since decades. Since they see their forests holistically, they adapt the space so that the western capercaillie feels home. In fact, this endangered species is not only emblematic for the Vosges mountains, the King of the forest is also a so-called “umbrella species” meaning that by protecting it, we protect many other species in the forest. On top of this, protecting this its habitat means having old and healthy forests with a high conservation value.
We can’t wait to help these incredible people to realize their mission with our toolchain.

Our secret sauce? We enchant every and each sensor node rigorously by hand. This doesn’t help much with the nodes’ performance itself, but significantly reduces stress in our developers. Or at least up until the point in which Friedrich grabs the stick and beats me with it, because I “post silly pictures on LinkedIn”. Send help.

It is energising to see how much excitement is gathering around project Aja. We feel it in everyone who is participating in its unfolding, whether they are supporting us directly, or cheering from the sidelines. And here comes another bomb :)
We have been accepted in Climate-KIC’s acceleration programme!
ClimateKIC 1 is EU’s main climate innovation initiative supporting startups that want to take action against climate change.
The programme will coach us in making Aja commercially viable, and provide us with seed founding which will significantly boost our development speed.
In other words, it is a giant step forward for Aja. We sincerely thank the ClimateKIC jury for believing in our project; we can’t wait to get to work.
