What is VIDA?

One platform to plan, de-risk, deliver, and monitor infrastructure. AI makes the picture fast to build, easy to query, and simple to act on.

One living picture

VIDA combines more than 100 global geospatial datasets, from building footprints and population to grids, roads, and climate hazards, into one living picture of a country, a region, a portfolio or a location.

Built for smarter decisions

Investors, banks, and governments use it to decide where infrastructure is needed, what it will take to build it, and whether it is delivering, even in places where official data is missing.

VIDA is an AI company through and through, not a geospatial tool with an AI layer added

AI runs through everything we deliver, in four ways.

AI-generated data

Machine learning builds the datasets that official statistics miss: buildings, energy demand, or infrastructure, mapped from satellite imagery across entire countries.

AI in the models

Climate and electrification models run at national scale, turning raw data into settlement-level answers: which technology, where, and at what risk.

AI in the analytics

AI agents co-build workspaces and analyses alongside our team, so a bespoke national platform stands in days, not months.

AI apps and interface

Purpose-built AI apps live inside each workspace and Ask VIDA AI answers plain-language questions about settlements, grids, and risk. No GIS expertise required.

The capability lifecycle

From plan to progress

Planning

Identify where infrastructure is needed most and which solution fits each community, from national plans to single sites.

Risk Assessment

Quantify climate, hazard, and environmental risks for infrastructure and the people who depend on it.

Implementing

Turn plans into programs: subsidy design, tendering, and multi-stakeholder coordination on one shared picture.

Monitoring

Track what gets built and who gets connected, with live data from the field, smart meters, and satellites.

“In a very short while, VIDA has helped us with our National Electrification Planning and our collaboration with them has been beneficial to the energy sector, to private investors, independent power producers and the Government of Sierra Leone.”

Cyril Grant, Executive Technical Adviser to the Minister of Energy, Sierra Leone

“Using VIDA, we can quickly and affordably identify the most suitable locations for our mesh grids across the country.”

Daniel Komolafe, Founder, First Electric
