AI for Energy Optimization in Smart Cities: Develop an AI system that analyzes city-level energy usage (lighting, traffic, HVAC, etc.) and predicts opportunities to reduce consumption or shift loads to renewable sources.
 

Predictive Maintenance for Renewable Infrastructure: Create a model that predicts failures or efficiency drops in solar panels, wind turbines, or batteries using sensor data and weather patterns.
 

Climate-Resilient Agriculture: Design an AI-driven advisory platform for farmers that recommends crop patterns, irrigation schedules, and pest control strategies based on soil, climate, and satellite data.
 

AI-Powered Waste Sorting & Recycling: Build a computer vision or multimodal AI model that classifies and routes waste streams in real time, such as plastic, paper, metal, organic.
 

Carbon Footprint Tracker for Businesses: Develop an AI tool that automatically estimates and reports a company’s carbon footprint using financial transactions, logistics, and energy data.
 

Forest Fire Detection & Prevention: Use satellite imagery and environmental sensors to detect early signs of forest fires and predict high-risk zones.
 

AI for Water Quality & Leak Detection: Design an AI model that uses sensor or image data to detect water contamination or pipeline leaks before they cause large-scale losses.
 

Sustainable Mobility Planner: Create an AI assistant that suggests the most eco-friendly travel routes and modes of transport e.g., shared rides, EVs, public transit based on real-time data.
 

Biodiversity Monitoring & Conservation: Develop a machine learning solution that identifies endangered species or habitat loss from audio, drone, or satellite data.
 

Open Innovation: Any other relevant solution towards sustainability.
