🚀 Big news from Urbint!
Urbint acquired StormImpact, an AI company that predicts the risk of storms, wildfires, and floods for utility infrastructure.
The acquisition will strengthen forecasting for Urbint's AI-powered risk prevention software, helping utilities:
- Predict and prevent failures before weather hits
- Optimize safe crew deployment during storms
- Accelerate power restoration after events
This move underlines our thesis that digital infrastructure is essential for climate resilience. Solutions that make our energy systems more reliable aren't just good business—they're increasingly vital for public safety.
Congratulations to Corey Capasso and the entire Urbint team! We're proud to support your vision of building more resilient infrastructure.
