Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR) announced it is a member
of the Colorado-Wyoming Regional Innovation Engine (CO-WY
Engine)-led team, which recently received the US National Science
Foundation (NSF) inaugural Regional Innovation Engines program
grant. The prestigious award positions the CO-WY Engine, led by
Innosphere Ventures, at the forefront of the nation's environmental
and climate technology initiatives.
As a corporate team member of the CO-WY Engine, Denver-based
Palantir will bring its knowledge and experience applying
artificial intelligence and massive-scale data integration
expertise to the Engine to help accelerate the pace of innovation
needed for our nation's climate resilience. The Engine brings
together government agencies, private companies, nonprofits, and
academic institutions to tackle some of the largest climate related
problems facing the nation today.
“We are excited to be a part of this unique and innovative
approach to climate resilience, which brings together private
industry, venture capital, state and local governments, academic
institutions, and nonprofit organizations,” said Lauren Penneys,
SVP, Federal New Programs at Palantir. “By providing both our
software and our expertise and mentorship, we are thrilled to play
an important role in the future of the CO-WY Engine and the broader
work NSF is doing to build climate resilience.”
The NSF Engines Program, a catalyst for regionally-driven
economic dynamism, aims to establish the U.S. as a global leader in
critical technological advancements. CO-WY Engine's selection
recognizes the region's potential to evolve into a self-sustaining
hub for innovation and economic activity centered on technology.
Palantir is proud to be a leader of this regional group, further
highlighting its presence in Denver and the larger area.
The CO-WY region, grappling with two decades of environmental
challenges including aridification and extreme weather events,
stands to benefit profoundly from this initiative. Palantir is one
of the partners involved in the CO-WY Engine, which will harness
this opportunity to drive the development and commercialization of
technologies vital for climate resilience. These innovations will
empower communities to effectively manage water resources, advance
agricultural technology, and prepare for extreme weather.
Additionally, Engine is expected to create 22,000 new jobs
throughout the region and infuse $1 billion into the local
economy.
The diverse partnership network – spanning industry, academia,
government and community sectors – forms the backbone of the CO-WY
Engine. Key partners include prominent research institutions,
federal laboratories, regional economic development organizations,
corporations, and policy and community groups. This collaborative
ecosystem is crucial in translating the vision into impactful
realities.
The NSF Engines program represents one of the single largest
investments in place-based economic development in the nation's
history — uniquely placing science and technology leadership as the
central driver for regional economic competitiveness and job
creation.
"The inaugural NSF Engines awards demonstrate our enduring
commitment to create opportunity everywhere and enable innovation
anywhere," said NSF Director Sethuraman Panchanathan. "Through
these NSF Engines, NSF aims to expand the frontiers of technology
and innovation, and spur economic growth across the nation through
unprecedented investments in people and partnerships. NSF Engines
hold significant promise to elevate and transform entire geographic
regions into world-leading hubs of innovation."
