FireSwarm Solutions Inc Qualifies for Prestigious XPRIZE Wildfire Autonomous Wildfire Response Track
eTradeWire News/10776021
Canadian Startup Among 29 Global Teams to Share $750,000 Milestone Prize for Autonomous Wildfire Response Innovation
VANCOUVER, British Columbia - eTradeWire -- FireSwarm Solutions Inc. has been selected by the XPRIZE Wildfire's independent judging panel as the only Canadian company and one of the 29 Qualified Teams from around the world to advance to the next round of the XPRIZE Wildfire Autonomous Wildfire Response track. This cohort of interdisciplinary teams will equally share a $750,000 milestone prize purse.
The XPRIZE Wildfire competition aims to revolutionize wildfire detection and response through innovative technology. The Autonomous Wildfire Response track challenges teams around the globe to develop solutions that can autonomously detect, assess, and respond to wildfires, ultimately reducing the devastating impacts of these natural disasters.
FireSwarm will be pre-positioning and deploying autonomous drone swarms for rapid, precise wildfire suppression.
"We are thrilled to be recognized as one of the leading teams in this prestigious competition," says Alex Deslauriers, CEO of FireSwarm Solutions Inc. "With 2023 being the worst fire season on record in Canada, many people witnessed fires advancing toward their homes and businesses and felt helpless to do anything about it. The destruction was unprecedented. On August 18, 2023, our own family experienced the total devastation of a Rank 6 wildfire firsthand when a fire tornado uprooted ancient trees and obliterated everything in its path. At that moment, I knew I would dedicate my career to making a significant difference in the fight against wildfires. Qualification in the XPRIZE Wildfire Competition is a testament to our commitment and the innovative spirit and momentum of our team and co-founders, David Thanh and Melanie Bitner."
