Straive Wins Newsweek AI Impact Award 2025 for “AI in Sustainability”

In a defining moment for Straive’s journey in sustainable innovation, we have been honored with the 2025 Newsweek AI Impact Award in the category “AI Sustainability: Best Outcomes, Climate Adaptation and Resilience.” Our award-winning solution, “AI for the Resilient City,” developed with Evergreen uses AI to help cities improve planning, expedite response times, and develop more robust infrastructure.

This award-winning solution—an intelligent 3D data visualization platform—enables city planners to assess infrastructure needs more effectively, simulate climate scenarios, and prioritize investments that support long-term resilience and sustainability. By layering geospatial, environmental, and structural data, the platform brings greater clarity to decision-making in high-stakes urban environments. It is a practical demonstration of how AI can surpass its theoretical potential and deliver real-world impact.

At Straive, we believe that AI in sustainability is not just an advantage—it’s an imperative. As climate volatility increases and infrastructure systems face new stressors, the need for agile, data-led planning becomes more urgent. Our technology empowers cities to act with foresight, allocate resources more efficiently, and enhance their resilience to future disruptions.

This award places Straive alongside a global network of innovators using AI to drive measurable change. It reinforces our commitment to tackling complex challenges through scalable, ethical, and impact-first solutions—designed not just to inform, but to empower.

This recognition from Newsweek is more than a milestone. It reaffirms our belief that purposeful innovation—grounded in empathy, science, and precision—can help shape a better future. It also speaks to the collective effort of our teams across data science, engineering, and impact strategy, who continue to push boundaries in service of clients, communities, and the planet.

At Straive, we focus on operationalizing AI, transforming complex data into intelligent, scalable solutions for real-world sustainability. Our strength lies in integrating deep analytics with actionable intelligence to support cities in adapting to climate challenges. Winning this award affirms our commitment to building AI that not only performs but uses AI to help cities plan effective climate interventions and take corrective actions at a micro-level.
