Autodesk Climate Intelligence Challenge 2024

Together with Autodesk, we define Climate Intelligence as the integration of climate data and AI-driven insights into the entire project lifecycle and design software, to enable designers, builders, makers, and operators to access data-driven and decision-actionable insights regarding climate-related risks to projects, creating opportunities for informed decision-making, planning, and risk management to foster resilient, sustainable infrastructure, and cities.

But we're eager to hear YOUR perspective on what Climate Intelligence means. Are you a startup in architecture, engineering, construction, or manufacturing, developing cutting-edge innovations to enhance global sustainability? We want to understand your vision of Climate Intelligence and offer your startup an opportunity to join our inaugural Climate Intelligence cohort.

During this challenge, you'll have the chance to pitch your venture directly to the Autodesk team, with the opportunity to win complimentary accommodations and tickets to attend Autodesk University in October 2024.
