NTT and ClimateForce announced a partnership to create the world?s first Smart Rainforest using NTT?s Smart Management Platform technology. This groundbreaking initiative aims to regenerate a section of Australia's Daintree Rainforest and establish sustainable and cost-effective models for environmental restoration efforts around the world. ClimateForce is regenerating a section of Australia?s Daintree Rainforest that had been razed for agriculture decades ago.

The land, which is adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef, has since become infested with invasive plant species. NTT?s sponsorship will help support the regeneration effort using Smart Management Platform (SMP) Technology and Analytics, while NTT DATA, a global digital business and IT services leader, is providing operational and fundraising support. NTT DATA will help ClimateForce leverage AI, data gathering and analysis as well as predictive analytics to assess various organic reforestation techniques.

In addition to providing operating support for the initiative, NTT DATA is also contributing funds to help ClimateForce purchase and protect the regenerated land in perpetuity.
