NAXA is pleased to announce a new consultancy services to support the commercialization of an innovative AI-assisted disaster damage assessment solution being developed in collaboration with international partners, including EPFL and VITA Lab, with support from the EssentialTech Centre at EPFL.

We are seeking an experienced consultant or consulting firm to conduct a market assessment, willingness-to-pay analysis, and develop a commercialization and pricing strategy for this emerging technology.

If you have expertise in market research, technology commercialization, innovation, or pricing strategy, we encourage you to apply.

NAXA, in collaboration with international research partners including EPFL and VITA Lab, and with support from the EssentialTech Centre at EPFL, is developing an AI-assisted solution for the rapid identification and assessment of disaster-induced building damage. The solution is currently at the prototype development stage. Following successful validation, it will be integrated into DASTAA-NAXA's digital platform for climate risk assessment, anticipatory action, loss and damage analysis, and climate adaptation planning. While technical development is progressing well, the long-term sustainability and commercial viability of the solution require a robust understanding of the market. This includes identifying potential customer segments, assessing existing damage-assessment practices, understanding institutional spending patterns, defining minimum viable product expectations, evaluating willingness and ability to pay, analysing competing solutions, exploring preferred service delivery models, and recommending viable pricing strategies.

NAXA therefore seeks an experienced consultant or consulting firm to conduct a comprehensive market assessment and develop a commercialisation and pricing strategy for this AI-assisted damage assessment solution.

The overall objective of the assignment is to assess the market potential, customer demand, willingness to pay, and suitable pricing strategy for the AI-assisted damage and loss assessment solution and provide practical recommendations for its commercialisation. The assignment may consider the relationship between the proposed solution and DASTAA where relevant. However, the primary focus will remain on the AI-assisted damage and loss assessment solution.

The consultant will undertake the following activities. The final stakeholder list, consultation sample, and research tools will be agreed upon with NAXA during the inception phase.

Note: The consultant shall provide a validated list of interviewees, along with the original interview records (audio recordings, transcripts, or completed interview notes, as applicable), to enable verification and ensure the accuracy and credibility of the information incorporated into the final document.

The assignment will be completed within 75 days  from the date of contract signing.

The consultant will work closely with NAXA’s GeoAI project team, the DASTAA business-development lead, and relevant technical and management personnel. NAXA will provide available background documents, product information, prototype demonstrations where available, and reasonable support in identifying and contacting priority stakeholders. The consultant will be responsible for planning and conducting consultations, analysing findings, developing pricing recommendations, preparing the agreed deliverables, and presenting the results.
