World's Leading Sustainable Technology Initiative 2025

FortyGuard combats extreme urban heat with a hyperlocal climate intelligence platform that maps surface temperatures down to 10x10 metres using AI, IoT, and satellite data. In cities like Abu Dhabi, it has helped reduce heat exposure by up to 5°C in targeted zones—lowering cooling loads, reducing infrastructure stress, and improving public health outcomes. Ingesting 15 million data points daily, FortyGuard partners with smart city developers, research institutions, and municipalities to guide urban planning for climate resilience. The platform aligns with SDGs 9, 11, and 13, and integrates with green building standards.

Its freemium awareness tools increase community access to heat data, while APIs and dashboards support city-wide integration. By making heat visible, measurable, and actionable, FortyGuard enables governments, planners, and citizens to proactively adapt to rising climate extremes—making it a powerful enabler of sustainable and resilient urban tourism infrastructure.
