A clean technology startup based out of Vancouver is garnering attention for its response to a reported rise in climate risks.
TIMEZYX, a Top 10 Finalist in this year’s NVBC Competition, has developed digital twin software that targets cities and other infrastructure owners, enabling them to simulate real-world counterparts in a bid to gain valuable information.
The company’s real-time structural digital twin computation and visualization services can predict, for example, how a particular building might respond to extreme events.
TIMEZYX’s Digital Twin Lap performs computations up to 1,000 times faster than other solutions, the firm claims.
This speed, among other factors, attracted a partnership from Stanford University.
At least one of the other factors isn’t insignificant: cofounder Adele Khavari, who serves TIMEZYX as both CFO and COO, conducted material science research at Harvard.
Alongside Khavari, TIMEZYX was founded in May of 2021 by chief executive officer Kamyab Zandi, who conducted post-doctoral research at MIT on large-scale simulations of concrete structures.
The startup is seeking building out customer acquisition channels and forging strategic partnerships with investors and industry leaders as it finalizes a go-to-market strategy.
The New Ventures BC Competition started in 2000 under the direction of Wal van Lierop, to encourage innovation in BC’s tech sector.
This year $250,000 in cash and prizes are at stake, with the winner taking home a $110K prize package.
On September 19, at an in-person event at the Stanley Park Pavillion, New Ventures BC will reveal the winner of this year’s competition.
