UNICEF Innovation Fund is looking for you (and your open source drone)
The following post has been pulled from the original post on suasnews.com.
If you’ve got a start-up registered in one of UNICEF’s programme countries and have a working, open-source drone prototype or service (or you are willing to make it open-source) showing promising results, the UNICEF Innovation Fund is looking for you.
They are currently looking to invest in a group of companies developing drone solutions. Examples of these include, but are not limited to:
1) Software to collect, share and analyse data from UAVs (for low-connectivity areas)
- Remote transfer or processing of visual data over low bandwidth networks
- AI / Machine learning / Deep learning algorithms for feature detection and counting
- Data management portal/stakeholder access protocol management
**Of particular interest software applications that work in low-connectivity areas
2) Software to manage flight and delivery operations
- Manage supply chain payments and quality of assets for sensitive products
- Load, delivery or flight navigation optimization
- Digital management of delivery execution
- Feature detection to land or drop deliveries autonomously on landing pads
3) Business models and sustainable drone services in emerging markets
- Develop new services through the use of existing third-party drones for transport, image capturing and analysis (e.g. to support health care, crop disease detection, risk mapping, search and rescue, disaster preparedness, etc.)
- Explore ways to combine existing services into multi-role service applications
4) Air Safety, risk management tools and Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) Systems
- Simulation or predictive tools for managing altitude, navigation deconfliction, schedules, routings, or fleet management
- Use case specific risk assessment tools (integratable with ICAO, EASA, NASA or other internationally recognised frameworks in development)
- APP for field operations and decision-making process management
- Machine-to-machine / V2V anti-collision software, neural networks
