Safe Pro AI Selected as Finalist in UN World Food Programme Innovation Accelerator for Landmine Detection Project

Safe Pro Group, an emerging leader in AI-powered security and threat detection, announced its subsidiary Safe Pro AI has been selected as a finalist in the United Nations World Food Programme's Humanitarian Innovation Accelerator Innovation Weeks. Out of 579 global submissions, Safe Pro AI's project focused on using AI to detect landmines in Ukrainian agricultural fields was one of eight chosen and the only U.S.-based AI solution selected. This recognition underscores the critical importance of addressing landmine contamination that threatens agricultural productivity and food security in conflict-affected regions.

The selection carries significant implications for humanitarian demining efforts worldwide, as finalists will compete for up to $150,000 in funding and a spot in a 12-month accelerator cohort. Safe Pro's SPOTD platform represents a technological breakthrough in threat detection, leveraging drone imagery and proprietary AI to identify over 150 types of threats. The platform has already analyzed over 1.66 million images across 6,705 hectares in Ukraine, demonstrating its practical application in real-world scenarios where traditional human-based analysis methods pose significant safety risks and efficiency challenges.

This development matters because it addresses one of the most pressing humanitarian challenges in post-conflict regions the contamination of agricultural land with explosive remnants of war. The implications extend beyond immediate safety concerns to global food security, as Ukraine serves as a major agricultural producer and exporter. The scalable, real-time AI solutions offered by Safe Pro AI could revolutionize how humanitarian organizations approach demining operations, potentially saving countless lives while restoring vital agricultural land to production more rapidly and cost-effectively than traditional methods.

The recognition by the United Nations World Food Programme validates the growing importance of AI technology in addressing complex humanitarian challenges. As built on a cloud-based ecosystem and powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Safe Pro Group's scalable platform represents the convergence of cutting-edge technology with practical humanitarian applications. This selection positions AI-driven solutions at the forefront of global efforts to make agricultural lands safe for farming communities while supporting broader food security initiatives in conflict-affected regions worldwide.
