VegaMX and Athena Intelligence Formalize FireTech Collaboration Efforts

NEW YORK - Feb. 13, 2024 - PRLog -- VegaMX, a leading data vendor, offers cutting-edge tools in weather data, satellite imagery, artificial intelligence, and machine language, empowering organizations to tackle challenges such as wildfire risk. Athena Intelligence specializes in integrating data from various sources to create profiles that accurately depict wildfire risk, aiding utilities, insurance companies, municipalities, and financial investors in making informed decisions.

In late 2023, VegaMX led a consortium selected by NASA as one of the final candidates in the highly competitive SBIR Ignite! grant process. The consortium, spearheaded by VegaMX's utilization of satellite imagery and weather data, aimed to develop new tools to address wildfire risk. Wildfires cause an estimated $800 billion annually in damages and expenses in the United States.

Athena Intelligence's flagship prefire tool, Voice of the Acre®, is widely utilized by various electric utilities across the western US. The enhanced alliance with VegaMX will fortify pre-fire research, enabling companies to identify high-risk areas based on factors such as fuel accumulation, weather patterns, and soil moisture.
