Austin, TX – UrbanLogiq and WSP took the stage at SXSW to announce they’re combining their strengths in AI and engineering to unveil two powerful AI-driven solutions that enhance risk management, emergency response, and infrastructure resilience.

With the rising threat of climate change and natural disasters, governments need better tools to predict, mitigate, and respond to risks. By combining UrbanLogiq’s advanced AI-powered analytics with WSP’s deep domain expertise and proprietary data, the two firms are leveraging their unique strengths to deliver innovative solutions designed to empower decision-makers with real-time, data-driven insights.

• GeoHazard Risk Assessment Model – Uses AI, geospatial analytics, and advanced modeling to identify, analyze, and mitigate infrastructure risks like landslides and flooding. This predictive system delivers real-time insights, helping governments proactively reduce risk and enhance safety.
• National Integrated Emergency Management System (NIEMS) – An AI-enabled platform designed to unify federal, provincial/state, and municipal emergency response efforts. By integrating diverse data sources into a centralized system, NIEMS provides governments with a single source of truth for disaster planning, mitigation, and response.

“This collaboration marks an exciting step forward in AI-driven government solutions,” said Mark Masongsong, CEO of UrbanLogiq. “By combining UrbanLogiq’s agility and innovation with WSP’s industry-leading expertise, we are equipping governments with powerful tools to improve resilience and decision-making in the face of increasing climate and infrastructure challenges.”

“What UrbanLogiq brings is, number one, a data platform, the ability to pull all that information together into a single place and then create insights and products out of that data,” said Jay Wratten, Executive Digital Lead at WSP in the U.S “What WSP is able to do is take the knowledge that we have and partner it up with that product and that technology and solve problems we couldn’t solve before, better, faster, cheaper.”

Both firms envision a transformative impact on how clients approach data governance, regulatory compliance, and strategic decision-making, addressing some of the most pressing issues facing government agencies and industry today.
