Quantela is a smart-city technology company that helps cities and communities digitize urban infrastructure through an AI- and IoT-powered data platform. Founded in 2015, it evolved from a dashboard tool into a full urban infrastructure platform spanning smart lighting, traffic, public safety, digital advertising and citizen services. Quantela is known for pioneering an 'outcomes-based' business model, funding projects up front in exchange for a share of the resulting revenue or savings, and operates across the Americas, EMEA, India and Asia-Pacific.
Olyns is a California-based climate-tech company that builds the Olyns Cube, an AI-powered reverse vending machine that lets shoppers recycle beverage containers at retail locations in exchange for cash refunds or rewards. Each Cube doubles as a digital advertising screen, so revenue from brand ads funds the cost of collecting and sorting material - making consumer recycling profitable and scalable without relying on the low value of the plastic itself.
