SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#cleantech—Aclima,
the San Francisco-based company delivering environmental intelligence
through sensor networks to improve human and planetary health, was
selected among hundreds of candidates as one of the World Economic
Forum’s “technology pioneers”, a selection of the world’s most
innovative companies. Aclima’s
platform collects, processes, and analyzes real-time data flowing
from arrays of environmental sensors, both stationary and on vehicles, enabling
a level of environmental insight that has never been possible before
in buildings, cities, and across industry.

The World Economic Forum’s Technology Pioneers community are early-stage
companies from around the world that are involved in the design,
development and deployment of new technologies and innovations, and are
poised to have a significant impact on business and society. The 30
technology pioneers that made it to the final selection are active in
artificial intelligence, augmented reality, autonomous vehicles,
biotechnology, blockchain, cybersecurity, the (industrial) internet of
things, and other pioneering technologies.

Following its selection as Technology Pioneer, Aclima CEO and Co-founder Davida
Herzl, will participate in the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting
of the New Champions. This meeting, also dubbed “Summer Davos” will be
held in Dalian, China, June 27-29. Many Pioneers will also attend the
Annual Meeting in Davos, in January 2018, and continue to participate in
dedicated Technology Pioneer community events in the course of the next
two years.

“We welcome Aclima in this group of extraordinary pioneers,” says Fulvia
Montresor, Head of Technology Pioneers at the World Economic Forum. “We
hope that thanks to this selection, the World Economic Forum can
facilitate greater collaboration with business leaders, governments,
civil society and other relevant individuals to accelerate the
development of technological solutions to the world’s greatest
challenges.”

“It’s great honor to be acknowledged as a technology pioneer by the
World Economic Forum,” said Davida
Herzl, CEO and Co-founder of Aclima. “Aclima’s mission is to provide
humanity with new tools to transform the way we understand and
manage environmental health and wellbeing in our buildings, cities, and
across industry. This award recognizes the value of our technology and
mission-driven approach to address climate change and global air
pollution affecting billions of people, at a time when access to air
quality information is so critical to human and planetary health.”

The Technology Pioneers were selected by a selection
committee of more than 60 academics, entrepreneurs, venture
capitalists and corporate executives. Notable members of the committee
include Geoffrey Moore (Adviser, Geoffrey Moore Consulting, USA), Yossi
Vardi (Chairman, International Technologies, Israel) and Lee Sang-Yup
(Distinguished Professor and Dean, Korea Advanced Institute of Science
and Technology, Republic of Korea). The committee based its decisions on
criteria including innovation, potential impact and leadership. Past
recipients include Airbnb, Google, Kickstarter, Mozilla, Palantir
Technologies, Scribd, Spotify, Twitter and Wikimedia.
