Henry Wong and Muhammad Saad Shahid Anwel, former Laidlaw Scholars at The University of Hong Kong, created Kodifly in 2021 to improve urban mobility and infrastructure resilience using camera and LiDAR and proprietary AI models.
Their traffic management, pedestrian safety, driver aids, and environmental monitoring solutions enable rail operators, transport managers, and city planners to gain actionable insights from fixed and mobile input data and real-time or periodic analysis.
Niall Santamaria, Chief Investment Officer of LSV, said, “Henry and Saad are exceptional entrepreneurs who were early to identify the opportunities and potential of spatial data. The models they are building have the potential to automate the detection and analysis of any anomaly, and while their success in the Transportation sector is evident, the data they are interpreting has far broader applications, with vast opportunity.
The business has received its first external funding round, and the team wants to use it to transition from railway expertise to airport and highway management and overseas expansion, with existing contracts in Hong Kong.
