Team for the Planet launches a global call for innovation, awarding €1 million each to leading climate inventors

Published

on

LYON, France, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Researchers, engineers and entrepreneurs worldwide are invited to apply; winning innovations receive €1 million to reach industrial scale. Founded in Lyon in 2020, Team for the Planet holds one conviction: decarbonisation must be sound business—for investors and innovators alike.

“We need major innovations to structurally decarbonise the economy. Most already exist, but they aren’t scaling,” notes Jean Jouzel, former IPCC vice-chair. The aim is to identify, anywhere on Earth, technology that massively cuts emissions and equip it to win its market.

More than a cheque

Beyond the capital, winners are paired with an experienced executive to co-lead the venture, gain access to a 133,000-strong shareholder network, and adopt an open-licence model that has already multiplied one project’s profitability tenfold. Eligibility is universal—any nationality or legal structure—provided the innovation delivers a measurable greenhouse-gas impact reaching several million tonnes of CO₂-equivalent annually.

A selection process unlike any other

Each application passes through 10,000 trained volunteer evaluators, an independent scientific committee of 14 experts (CNRS, CEA, INRAE, École Polytechnique), 13 private-equity professionals, and a final shareholder vote. Since 2020, over 1,700 proposals have yielded 14 companies across energy, industry, transport, agriculture and construction.

Saving the planet pays

Since 1 January 2026, shares once capped at €1 are revalued annually against the portfolio’s real worth, with one global first: gains are recognised only when a holding’s climate targets are met. The figures speak plainly: €41 million raised in five years—Europe’s largest crowdfunding campaign—now drawing venture capital and institutional investors.

“A tonne of CO₂ avoided has become an economic asset. The winner won’t receive a prize—they’ll be signing the first funding round of a future global decarbonisation leader.” — Mehdi Coly, Founder

EverTrue Launches DonorSearch360+, Giving Fundraising Teams Real-Time Donor Intelligence Inside Salesforce

Published

By

New native AgentExchange application transforms CRM data into dynamic intelligence — enabling nonprofits, universities, and healthcare organizations to screen millions of records and track donor wealth velocity for the first time

INDIANAPOLIS, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EverTrue, a philanthropy-first intelligence platform that helps fundraising teams turn data into action and build real donor relationships, today announced the general availability of DonorSearch360+, a ground-up reimagining of its native Salesforce integration. DonorSearch360+ is now available on AgentExchange, Salesforce’s marketplace that brings together the rich ecosystems of AppExchange, Slack, and Agentforce into one experience — making it easy for customers to discover, buy, activate, and manage trusted solutions across Salesforce and Slack.

Built for gift officers, prospect researchers, and development operations teams, DonorSearch360+ embeds wealth screening, AI-powered predictive scores, and donor intelligence directly into Salesforce Contact, Lead, and Person Account records. The application replaces the legacy DonorSearch360.io integration and introduces capabilities unavailable anywhere else on the market — including industry-first “delta” tracking that allows fundraising teams to visualize how a donor’s wealth and engagement signals are changing over time.

DonorSearch360+ is currently available on AgentExchange

From Static Data to a Dynamic Intelligence Engine

Most fundraising teams don’t lack data — they lack clarity. For years, nonprofit Salesforce integrations overwrote historical records with each new screening, capped batch runs at 50,000 records, and offered no visibility into whether a donor’s capacity was increasing or declining. DonorSearch360+ removes those barriers entirely.

Key capabilities of DonorSearch360+ include:

Industry-first Delta Tracking: Save and compare two distinct donor profiles to visualize wealth velocity — seeing exactly how much a capacity level or AI score has shifted since the last screening.

Massive-Scale Batching: Screen millions of records directly from a standard Salesforce Report with up to ten simultaneous batch jobs running concurrently.

Automated Scheduling: Schedule daily, weekly, or monthly screenings based on saved reports so new contacts and leads are automatically enriched the moment they enter Salesforce — no manual intervention required.

Advanced DSAI Score Integration: Six AI-powered predictive scores (MLR, RET, UPG, LTV, SUS, ACQ) move the conversation beyond “How much could this donor give?” to “What will they do next?” — helping gift officers prioritize who to call first, who is ready for a larger ask, and which donors are at risk of lapsing.

Deep Customization: Support for up to 20 user-defined custom fields and full Person Account compatibility, designed for complex enterprise organizations.

Visual, Graphical Dashboards: A modernized interface replaces the legacy plain-text display with rich, visual donor profiles — plus transparent error reporting so administrators can troubleshoot in real time.

Comments on the News

“Wealth tells you what someone could give. Philanthropy-first intelligence tells you what they will give. DonorSearch360+ moves gift officers beyond capacity estimates and into a real understanding of donor behavior, so that every conversation is better informed and every relationship has a stronger foundation.” — Matt Cowell, CPO, EverTrue

“The transition from DonorSearch360.io to DonorSearch360+ was seamless — and the difference was immediately clear. The new interface and reporting capabilities have given our team a level of visibility into our donors that we didn’t have before. We’re more equipped than ever to build the relationships that drive our mission forward.” — Brenna Hull, Advancement Manager, Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center

Built for the Salesforce Ecosystem

DonorSearch360+ is a native Salesforce application available on AgentExchange. Existing customers using the legacy DonorSearch360.io integration can migrate directly, with both packages available in parallel during the transition period. The application has completed Salesforce security review and is generally available to current and new customers.

The launch reflects EverTrue’s broader commitment to helping fundraisers do their best work — wherever they work. For teams already embedded in Salesforce, DonorSearch360+ means the intelligence they need is there when they need it, without ever leaving the platform they already rely on.

Availability and Pricing

DonorSearch360+ is available now on AgentExchange. The application is included with existing DonorSearch subscriptions and uses standard screening credits (one record equals one credit). For more information, visit the app listing or contact JB Rauch, Partner Development Manager, jb.rauch@evertrue.com.

SunTec India Delivers 3M+ Annotations for a Government-Backed Highway Infrastructure Monitoring Program

Published

on

By

NEW DELHI, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SunTec India completed a major data labeling initiative for a government-backed infrastructure consulting firm, processing more than 3 million annotations with sustained 99% accuracy. The dataset will train a highway asset & damage detection model across India’s national and state highway networks.

Operating on a client-hosted CVAT platform, the team labeled highway images using bounding boxes and 4-point/multi-point polygon annotation to identify road surface damage and classify road assets in accordance with IRC82 government standards, covering 71 distinct damage and asset categories across more than 1,000 kilometers of highway corridor. 4-point annotations made up approximately 80% of the total workload, while the remaining 20% required highly detailed multi-point annotations.

The image annotation engagement began as a pilot with 4 annotators and 1 reviewer. After a successful pilot, the scope expanded sharply, and the team scaled to 35 annotators and 7 reviewers, all of whom were subject-matter experts with backgrounds in Civil Engineering. The accuracy rate held through that eightfold growth, which the company credits to a deliberate reviewer-to-annotator ratio and structured training on IRC82 standards before labeling live data.

“What I’m proudest of is that the accuracy held as the scale grew,” said Rohit Bhateja, Director of Digital Engineering Services and Head of Marketing at SunTec India. He added, “A highway isn’t uniform—weather, lighting, and wear differ by region. Labeling 71 categories across a thousand kilometers throws up thousands of edge cases, and hitting 99% accuracy there proves our human-in-the-loop workflow holds up regardless of dataset size.”

The milestone reinforces SunTec India’s position in domain-intensive data labeling for AI and machine learning applications, particularly geospatial and aerial image labeling. It also reflects growing demand for specialized AI training data, with technical annotation guidelines and dense categories. The company expects to see more demand for this kind of high-consistency labeling across regulated industries.

Established in 1999, SunTec India is an AI-enabled IT and digital services company offering intelligent data services for AI and tech platforms for AI training, ESG research, B2B sales intelligence, and document processing, as well as data management operations such as data collection, cleansing, and enrichment.
