From quantum physics to urban planning: The Kido Dynamics revolution
- Kido Dynamics aims to help cities transform urban landscape with data. The data analytics space uses person mobility data, alongside GPS data, satellite images and IoT sensors, to provide a detailed image of the typical urban environment. Seeing opportunity where chaos sets in, Kido Dynamics helps decision-makers use anonymised data to deliver actionable insights and mobility guidance. Its scalable, scientifically grounded solutions also have wide-ranging applications from choosing new retail locations to refining out-of-home advertising strategies.
- Kido Dynamics was originally birthed as a team of physicists who were using algorithms to simulate the behaviour of atoms. The company has grown to operate in 22 countries, with CEO Alberto Hernando de Castro responsible for overseeing the practical potential of the firm's uniquely blended Swiss precision and cutting-edge data analytics technology.
- India appears to be a key market for Kido Dynamics, however. With a rapidly growing population and huge urbanisation plans, its technology can help Indian cities to alleviate pressure on infrastructure, reduce congestion and optimise transportation systems. Long-term ambitions include becoming a leader and the standard in data-driven urban development solutions across India.
- The move into India is being facilitated by Swissnex, which aided Kido Dynamics by providing connections to key stakeholders and providing crucial insights into how innovation and business works in the country. Eventually, Kido Dynamics aims to establish a presence in the Indian market, deploying its platform across cities as part of a partnership with one of the major local mobile phone operators.
