Athena Intelligence
Description
Athena Intelligence is revolutionizing how the food system through its proprietary spatial platform and related advanced analytics and predictive insights.
Long Description

Athena provides a proprietary geo-spatial platform that enables advanced analytics and predictive insights from public and private data sets related to Earth's Essential Data: Land, Food, Water and Energy. We produce unique business intelligence that quantifies and democratizes dynamic resource, production and performance risks to the world’s food, energy, financial sectors.

Land, food, water, and energy are earths essential natural resources used to power the world and our lives. However, the data of these resources is disaggregated, inaccessible, hard to utilize and thus making it of little or no use. As essential as they are, these vast amounts of data had no way to be turned into useful information. Until now.

Athena removes the data burden from managing food, water, and energy resources. We process and normalize the vast amounts of public data and our business intelligence application then incorporate additional private data sources. In short, we provide the data you don't have, incorporate it with the data you do have and make it all make sense, saving you time, energy and resources.

Our proprietary dynamic ontological model of land, food, water, and energy resources maps the relationships between these four primary resources creates invaluable business intelligence. This information is paramount as land, food, water and energy are the basic building blocks of our lives and global economies. As these resources become more scarce, Athena's understanding of the nexus of resource use and demands increases in value exponentially.
