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.
