Abstract

AIGreening Solutions Inc. develops AI-powered tools that help communities, governments, and Indigenous partners better anticipate and manage wildfire risk. Our technology integrates satellite imagery, weather and environmental data, and localized field knowledge to generate early-warning predictions, risk maps, and operational guidance.

Through collaborations with First Nations, wildfire agencies, and academic partners, we support both immediate threat awareness and long-term stewardship planning—including prescribed burn decision support grounded in Indigenous fire knowledge.Our platform will be piloted across British Columbia with the goal of scaling across fire-prone regions in Canada and internationally.
