R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
UrbanVind is at TRL 8, with pilots starting in multiple cities, including Maribor, Antalya, and Jurmala. And private operats like Nobina. The app solution is mature and a hardware alternative is still under development. The hardware alernative will be used in buses and bus stops both.
We have a SaaS based business model for CrowdFlow. The scalability is on two sides. One, we enerate additional insights from data and upsell to the same customer. Two, we expand to trains, bus stops, urban infrastructure etc. to get a bigger picture and understanding.
It is a SaaS
Yes it is. We will slowly transition to data monetization and providing further insights beyond just getting paid for data collection.
