Glasgow City Innovation District welcomes new cohort tackling climate and energy challenges through data innovation

Glasgow City Innovation District (GCID) has announced four pioneering companies selected for its latest Venture Studio Challenge Call ‘Data Solutions for Climate & Energy’, an initiative supporting data-driven ventures developing impactful solutions to some of the most pressing climate and energy challenges.

The programme aims to accelerate the development and deployment of scalable technologies that leverage Data and AI to enhance energy efficiency, enable smarter decision-making and build climate resilience.

Four companies have been selected to take part in the ‘Data Solutions for Climate & Energy’ Challenge Call, each using Data, AI and Machine Learning in novel ways to deliver measurable impact across the energy and climate sectors:

  • PropEco will apply AI to generate unique climate risk insights through novel combinations of open data.
  • Bellrock Technology will utilise data and AI powered thermal imaging for energy efficiency and reliability.
  • Renewable Dynamics will use machine learning for scalable wind farm life solution and curtailment to control and extend offshore wind life and profitability.
  • Trios Renewables will bring together ensemble weather forecast data for decision making in offshore wind.

The challenge reflects GCID’s ambition to harness the power of data and AI to drive innovation in sustainability and clean energy.

Alisdair Gunn, Director of Glasgow City Innovation District, said: “We’re proud to welcome these four innovative companies to our Venture Studio. Each company demonstrates how Data and AI can play a transformative role in tackling complex climate and energy challenges. This challenge embodies Glasgow City Innovation District’s mission to bring together the brightest minds, innovation, technology and collaboration to deliver impact locally, nationally and globally.”

The Glasgow City Innovation District Venture Studio is delivered by GCID and funded by Glasgow City Council and the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
