"We are at a critical juncture, when generative AI is accelerating ways to solve the world's biggest challenges, including climate change. It is more crucial than ever that we support innovators who are bringing scalable solutions to life by pushing the frontier of what's possible with technology," said Jon Jones , Vice President and Global Head of Startups at AWS. "The startups we selected for the Compute for Climate Fellowship represent big, bold, approaches to tackling some of the planet's most urgent challenges, from clean fusion energy, to better ways to track biodiversity, to sustainable textiles, and more. AWS is honored to support these pioneers, equipping them with the latest in AI and advanced cloud computing to help turn their ambitious ideas into positive impact on our planet."

Each startup will receive resources and mentorship to develop solutions that align with the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals, including access to IRCAI's scientific expertise. New applications for the 2025 POC will open in Q1!

IRCAI operates under UNESCO to advance AI applications supporting the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and coordinates the European Green AI research project RAIDO , which helps combat climate change by optimizing the use of AI resources.

UNESCO contributes to peace and global cooperation in education, science, and culture.
