Accelerating Nonprofit Impact Through AI Optimization
Read time: 2-3 minutesORTEC and Analytics for a Better World empower nonprofits with AI optimization and data science to boost efficiency, resilience, and measurable global impact from disaster relief logistics to healthcare access.
This article summarizes key points from a recent interview that ORTEC’s EVP Supply Chain Planning, Frans van Helden, gave for Analytics for a Better World (ABW). In that conversation, Frans shared how AI optimization and data analytics can empower nonprofits to solve complex global challenges with lasting, sustainable impact.
At ORTEC, we’ve spent more than 40 years unlocking measurable gains in efficiency, resilience, and impact for organizations worldwide. Today, we’re applying that same AI optimization and data analytics expertise to some of the world’s most urgent causes in partnership with Analytics for a Better World (ABW).
ABW, co-founded by ORTEC and the University of Amsterdam Business School, exists to bring industry-grade AI capabilities to the nonprofit space. Together, we’ve worked on projects that range from halving The Ocean Cleanup’s timeline, to improving medicine distribution, to streamlining disaster relief logistics.
Now, through ABW’s newly launched Impact Accelerator Program, five nonprofits will receive €120,000 worth of expert guidance, working side-by-side with leading partners, including ORTEC, UvA, EY, Gurobi, OMP, and TomTom, to build long-term data resilience and innovation capacity.
World hunger is a logistics problem, not a food problem. We can help fix that.
