“An innovative idea is like a wave in the ocean: given the right impetus, it can become a tidal wave. Mathieu Lachaîne, CTO of Montreal-based Sentiom, which specializes in intelligent building technology, knows all about this.
Sentiom has developed a cutting-edge AI-driven monitoring and detection system that provides real-time alerts to reduce the risk of water damage in residential buildings. But it received top honors – as well as seed funding, resources and expertise from Cisco – at the 2021 Cisco Fast Future Innovation Awards (FFIA), which gave small startup digital innovation the impetus it needed to move forward.”
