Satellite monitoring with AI for risk management of extreme climate events in Chile

In Chile, Chucaw, a startup co-founded by the young Isis Riquelme at age 21, responds to fires, droughts and other extreme weather events with a platform that combines artificial intelligence, satellite data and local knowledge to anticipate risks. Deliver reports and alerts to municipalities and communities so they can act in time. It has already implemented pilot projects with insurance companies, forestry and agricultural companies and municipalities, and was awarded CORFO's Expande Seed Capital.

Early warning system for the protection of forests and communities against forest fires created in Argentina

Wildfires are detected late and spread before response arrives. Satellites on Fire, created in Argentina by young people, is an early warning platform that combines satellite images, cameras on towers and artificial intelligence to detect fires in minutes, send alerts by WhatsApp, SMS or email and estimate how the fire will spread. It currently operates in 21 countries and monitors 50 million hectares.

Youth participation
The youth lead the project from its conception, technical development and management. In 2020, at just 16 years old, its founders programmed the first predictive algorithms with AI to respond to forest fires in Córdoba. They validated the technology together with fire stations and local brigades, consolidating a solution that scaled to the regional level under the direction of a team made up mainly of young professionals.
