Guest: Tham Tat Wai, CEO, Satok Bridge Digital
As palm oil plantations expand, the conflict between humans and wildlife escalates, often with tragic results. Sarawak-based AIoT startup Satok Bridge Digital was founded to tackle this critical issue, offering a technology-driven alternative to violence.
CEO Tham Tat Wai joins us to share their story of building a sustainable, mission-driven tech company. He explains their flagship product ‘Gajah Safe’, an AI-powered early warning system for elephants, and discusses how their core expertise in Vision AI is being applied to solve a range of other rural and industrial problems.
We discuss:
Their mission to resolve human-wildlife conflict with humane technology.
How their ‘Gajah Safe’ early warning system for elephants works.
Their core expertise in Vision AI and their various innovative "pet projects."
The "Data Bridge," their unique IoT device with swappable modules for rural areas.
Their sustainable, self-reliant approach to funding and business growth.
For entrepreneurs in deep tech and conservation, this is a fascinating look at a mission-driven company with a passion for solving real-world problems.
