Mohammed Bin Rashid Innovation Fund

I am extremely excited to share that FortyGuard is a Google Startup now. We’ve joined the prestigious AI First Google Accelerator program in MENA, proudly representing our UAE establishment as we continue to scale our Temperature Intelligence solutions to the world 🌎 This is more than just another milestone—it’s a step closer to Google. We’ll be working closely with their global network to refine our AI and ML practices, delivering our solutions through Google’s Marketplace with the support of Google leadership and the Google for Startups team, and getting immediate access to Google’s latest technology. This program got an incredible energy and innovative spirit of the selected startups. All of our AI-powered solutions will make a global impact across industries, and I truly believe that our AI holds immense potential to create a better future. I am excited that Google is committed to supporting us with mentorship from Google Developer Experts, access to cutting-edge AI technology, and connections to a powerful network of fellow entrepreneurs and VCs. It’s tough to put into words just how much effort moments like these take. Our team has worked relentlessly to bring us here, and this is just the beginning. To our partners, clients, and investors—our promise remains: we will continue to grow, innovate, and deliver temperature intelligence solutions people love to use. We will democratize the use of Urban Heat and make data available to cool down cities and bring temperature insights to everyone. Huge shout-out to the incredible team who made this happen!
