BETTAIR - Spain

THE SOLUTION

Bettair® is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) that permits, for the first time, to map air pollution in cities on a previously unimaginable scale based on a large deployment of outstandingly accurate gas sensors by using an advanced post-processing algorithm. Our platform perfectly assists cities to i) identify unknown pollution sources; ii) to assess the impact and effects of different environmental actions to identify the most effective ones; iii) recommend specific local actions. This information enables smarter and better decisions to mitigate air pollution in the short run. In the medium run, it is also a very powerful tool in order to define effective and appropriate urban plans to enhance urban air quality in cities.

THE COMPANY

Bettair® is a spin-off of Ateknea Solutions initially incubated in the same facilities. After the completion of Citi-Sense project, due to the interest raised from the market, key members from the management and technical team of Ateknea created this spin-off. The mission of Bettair® is to provide cities with insights to cities to mitigate u r b a n air quality and improve their citizens’ quality of life.
