After an extensive selection process, 25 entrepreneurial companies were picked to attend SUSTAID’s year-long program on “”Collaboration for Sustainable Solutions in International Crisis and Disaster and Development”. The goal is to support the entrepreneurs to better understand how products and services can be adapted in the field in disaster and crisis situations.
SUSTAID, which is a UN-financed organisation, has attracted a number of experienced experts for the program, for example from The Red Cross, The Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI), The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) and Läkarmissionen/International Aid Services.
I-CONIC’s software solutions have a large potential in supporting disaster management efforts with much faster overview and actionable geographic information in crisis situations.
