As palm oil plantations expand, the conflict between humans and wildlife escalates, often with tragic results. Sarawak-based AIoT startup Satok Bridge Digital was founded to tackle this critical issue, offering a technology-driven alternative to violence.

CEO Tham Tat Wai joins us to share their story of building a sustainable, mission-driven tech company. He explains their flagship product ‘Gajah Safe’, an AI-powered early warning system for elephants, and discusses how their core expertise in Vision AI is being applied to solve a range of other rural and industrial problems.

We discuss:

• Their mission to resolve human-wildlife conflict with humane technology.

• How their ‘Gajah Safe’ early warning system for elephants works.

• Their core expertise in Vision AI and their various innovative "pet projects."

• The "Data Bridge," their unique IoT device with swappable modules for rural areas.

• Their sustainable, self-reliant approach to funding and business growth.

  For entrepreneurs in deep tech and conservation, this is a fascinating look at a mission-driven company with a passion for solving real-world problems.
