To support the Colorado-Wyoming’s Climate Resilience Engine’s (Ecosystem) strategic planning and performance management activities, PSF conducted a sprint to map the ecosystem of companies, research institutions, investors, and support organizations invested in ASCEND (Advanced Sensing Capabilities for Environmental and Natural Disasters) technologies.
We categorized key ASCEND capabilities and technologies under major use cases relevant to the CO-WY engine’s focus on climate resilience.
Based on our analysis, powered by our AI algorithms and analyst validation, we were able to identify 338 ecosystem participants which provides an overview of the ecosystem for the climate resilience engine in the states of Colorado and Wyoming.
We identified the broad customer base for advanced sensing technologies, showing strong engagement from federal agencies, private-sector companies, and industry leaders in key environmental and resilience-focused use cases.
The overview slide for each of the four use cases provides a consolidated summary of ASCEND technology as it relates to the specific climate resilience use case, as well as information on total awardees and participants receiving public/private funding.
Through our analysis, we were able to link CO-WY Engine goals to key ecosystem metrics, tracking company growth, investment, commercialization, and job creation. It helps measure climate technology impact, guiding funding, workforce development, and strategic decisions to strengthen the region’s innovation and resilience ecosystem.
We're ready to help you discover the right companies and ecosystem partners, understand technology/market trends and track risk/commercialization potential of your portfolio of companies/contractors.
