National University of Singapore announced as First Runner-Up in the Atos IT Challenge 2022

Atos IT Challenge is the first international student competition dedicated to technological innovation

Singapore – August 8, 2022 –

Atos announces that the National University of Singapore has won the second prize in the Atos IT Challenge, the first international student competition on technological innovation. The talented team of four made an impressive win beating 17 other shortlisted teams with ‘Lumo’, an app for firefighters who are on the frontline protecting life, property, and the environment. Leveraging the power of satellite communication and AI, ‘Lumo’ is set up to provide descriptive statistics, such as GIS maps and dashboards containing charts and reports, that deliver real-time analysis to mitigate the dangers of fires. The descriptive data from ‘Lumo’ delivers risk scores, quick charts, and dashboards of a fire. Additional functions give real-time information of a location vulnerability, simulated wildfires, and the possible spread, that collectively could mean life or death in these harrowing situations.

“The team from NUS has developed a solution that has a high use case in the region. Annually we battle fires due to climatic conditions, human error, and cultural practices. Our firefighters are in the thick of these situations, risking their lives to protect others. Now armed with critical data they could be well prepared to manage the fires even before they arrive at the scene.

We are proud that Singapore was well represented in this global competition. We congratulate our student team from NUS for a brilliant invention that is going to make a difference in all our lives.” says Neville Smith, Managing Director, Southeast Asia, Atos

Winners from the National University of Singapore were: Manali Patil, He Ruoqing Vivien, Yeoh Yong Jie, and Yuvaraj Kumaresan. The team won €5,000.
