FortyGuard is proud to have participated in the Out-of-Labs Showcase at Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) 2025. Our Founder and CEO, Jay Sadiq, presented during the session titled “Driving Innovation for Sustainable Change,” held on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, at the Youth 4 Sustainability (Y4S) Hub in Abu Dhabi.
The session provided a platform for startups and innovators to address pressing environmental challenges while exploring sustainable solutions that drive global progress. Jay shared insights into how FortyGuard’s AI-powered urban cooling technology is tackling the critical challenge of urban heat, delivering impactful solutions that contribute to the global energy transition and sustainability goals.
Organized by Masdar, the Youth 4 Sustainability (Y4S) initiative is dedicated to empowering the next generation of sustainability leaders. Through the Y4S Hub, young innovators, policymakers, and industry leaders come together to foster collaboration on solutions aligned with global priorities such as Net Zero 2050 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Out-of-Labs Showcase, a key feature of the Y4S Hub, supports startups like FortyGuard by providing a platform to share innovative ideas and scale impactful solutions. Participating in this session allowed FortyGuard to demonstrate how its Temperature Dashboard™ and cutting-edge data solutions are advancing urban sustainability.
We are honored to have been part of such an inspiring event and to contribute to meaningful discussions with a global community of changemakers. ADSW continues to be a vital platform for collaboration, innovation, and action in addressing global sustainability challenges.
