Google.org’s accelerating impact

20 September 2024

At its first ever Impact Summit, Google.org has announced plans to accelerate its impact on the world’s largest problems with AI.

iRAP is proud to be a partner addressing road traffic crashes that are the leading cause of death among children and young people worldwide.

Over the past five years, Google.org has provided more than $200 million to assist organizations using advanced applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support pressing social challenges.

iRAP’s US$2 million Google.org grant project is currently underway in Vietnam leveraging AI to scale up iRAP’s Star Rating for Schools and AiRAP partnerships to provide 3-star or better journeys to school.

Our innovation partnerships with Google and Google.org have also contributed to iRAP partners’ global impact that has seen almost 700,000 deaths and serious injuries saved since 2016 through safer road infrastructure and safer speeds informed by the iRAP methodology and tools.
