What tools do we have today to guide climate adaptation strategies and enhance natural capital? Developing a predictive digital model for the intelligent and resilient management of the urban landscape is the goal of the challenge “nAIture Landscape Modelling,” launched by LAND as part of the Business Meets Innovation 2025 contest.
Now in its eighth edition, BMI is an initiative promoted by the Italian-German Chamber of Commerce (AHK Italien) to foster connections between the innovation needs of leading companies within the Italian-German business community and the innovative solutions offered by Italian startups, spin-offs, and innovative SMEs. LAND, an international landscape consultancy led by Andreas Kipar, has been selected by AHK Italien in this year’s edition of BMI to promote innovation synergies between emerging companies and major enterprises.
LAND is launching its own Technology Challenge — aimed at startups, university spin-offs, and innovative organizations operating in the GreenTech, ClimateTech, and GeoAI sectors — to enhance the LIM landscape information modelling®, a model developed by the LAND Research Lab®, which measures environmental indicators related to tree growth through BIM architectural models integrated with databases such as i-Tree. The goal is to integrate satellite remote sensing data, multispectral drone imagery, and environmental sensors with artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to develop a dynamic and interactive tool for analyzing environmental indicators (thermal and water stress, evapotranspiration, attractiveness to pollinators, etc.) to guide climate adaptation strategies and enhance natural capital.
Applications can be submitted by November 14 through the official website of the initiative. The contest winner will be involved in a six-month collaboration with the LAND Italia team for the co-design of the prototype and testing in pilot areas.
