Resiliõ Climate Solutions
Moustafa Naiem, Founder and CEO
Resiliō Climate Solutions (soon to be RESILIOCS Intelligence) has built an AI-powered climate risk platform that helps asset owners, insurers, and investors understand which assets are at risk, how much they stand to lose, and which actions deliver the highest return.
The platform goes from predicting extreme weather events, to quantifying their impact and financial losses, to showing what to do to reduce those losses. By simulating events like flooding, heatwaves, and wildfires, Resiliō turns climate risk into clear, asset-level decisions. Users can see where failures are likely to happen, how risks spread across entire portfolios, and how to protect capital before losses occur.
Resiliõ has established active partnerships with its go-to-market solution and has completed three successful pilot projects within the asset management sector.
