Aussie deep science startup Reask is calculating climate catastrophe on a global scale

Reask co-founder Nick Hassam is speaking at InsurTech Connect Asia in Singapore this week as part of an AusTrade delegation to explain how the company uses data, technology and high-performance computing for climate catastrophe risk modelling.

His return to Asia is poignant, since the last time he visited was five years ago for the 15th Conference on Catastrophe Insurance in Asia in Taipei where he met climate scientist Thomas Loridan and the idea for their climate tech startup was hatched.

Since then, the team at Reask has been busy solving the global issue that reinsurance firms were having with accessing globally consistent risk metrics for understanding catastrophic climate phenomena.
