Heja Framtiden podcast #654: Devon Young & Hannah Prior
Urban forests and gardens are increasingly important for shade, climate change mitigation, noise pollution and air quality. But out of the 100 Billion USD invested annually, there is plenty of waste because trees are not properly taken care of. A third don’t even survive their first year.
Devon Young from Avanade and Hannah Prior from Microsoft set out to change this. Using their companies’ combined technologies, they created a way of communicating with individual trees to see how they are doing. The solution is soon being rolled out to cities and municipalities looking to strengthening their preventive green maintenance.
Heja Framtiden met Devon and Hannah at the Women in Tech Sweden conference 2026 in Stockholm.
