AI for the Planet Demo Night - powered by 🧠The AI Collective
​We’re back with a special edition of our Demo Night — this time dedicated to the builders shaping how AI and the planet evolve together.
​As part ChangeNOW Planet Week, this edition is organized in partnership with Stairling, a fast-growing agentic fintech building employment infrastructure for the gig economy using AI agents across its core financial and operational workflows.
​Together, we’re bringing to the stage founders and engineers working on energy-efficient AI systems, climate intelligence platforms, low-carbon infrastructure, and real-world applications accelerating the transition.
​This isn’t a sustainability panel.
It’s a room full of technical builders.
​From optimized training pipelines and efficient inference layers to AI-powered grid management, climate risk modeling, industrial decarbonization and biodiversity monitoring — the teams presenting are building systems that matter.
​AI is scaling fast.
The question is how we scale it responsibly.
​⚡️ Event Highlights
