Two of our projects were nominated as Excellent Projects in the IRCAI Global Top 100 Index for 2025!

Proud to share that our Global Flood Monitoring System (Triton) and our Wildfire Burn Scar Monitoring System have been recognized in the IRCAI Global Top 100 Index as Excellent Projects, under the auspices of UNESCO!

Triton, led by Nikolaos Ioannis Bountos and Maria Sdraka, leverages satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data and cutting-edge AI to deliver rapid, accurate flood mapping on demand, anywhere in the world. Floods are the most frequent natural disaster on Earth and with climate change driving their intensity, the need for fast, reliable flood intelligence has never been greater. Triton directly supports emergency responders, government agencies, and financial institutions in making faster, better-informed decisions when it matters most.

On the other hand, wildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity, demanding faster and more precise monitoring. Our team, led by Maria Sdraka, and with the collaboration of the Hellenic Fire Service, has developed an AI system designed to automate the detection and mapping of wildfire-affected areas. By leveraging high-resolution multispectral satellite data, our model produces highly accurate delineations of burn scars, providing critical data for rapid response and relief efforts, recovery planning, as well as climate research on the impacts of wildfires on the ecosystem.

Being included in the IRCAI Index highlights the role of AI in solving the world’s most pressing challenges, and reflects the team’s dedication to using AI for real-world humanitarian impact. This recognition fuels our commitment to developing ethical, scalable, and impactful AI solutions for a safer planet!
