The infrastructure industry accounts for 13% of the world’s global GDP (McKinsey). Despite this, it remains antiquated and relatively inefficient. Taiyo.Ai identified two persistent pain points shared by over 200 construction executives: difficulty in identifying new project opportunities and a lack of sufficient information to inform critical decision-making. Traditionally, firms relied on their networks to source projects due to the manual, time-consuming nature of navigating government and news websites, resulting in limited visibility into viable opportunities. With 40% of the industry expected to retire in the next 5–7 years, the project sourcing process must be revolutionized to sustain the trillion-dollar industry (Forbes).
The current system for sourcing government projects is highly fragmented, with local, state, and federal agencies each maintaining separate websites for project postings and bidding, creating friction in acquiring potential leads. This lack of access to leads, paired with contractors having insufficient data to fully evaluate the project, subcontractors, designers, and more, results in reduced operating margins while simultaneously leaving potential deals on the table.
Taiyo offers an AI-driven platform that leverages a proprietary data mesh architecture to provide unparalleled insights into global infrastructure projects. The platform aggregates and standardizes vast amounts of data on past, present, and future projects, integrating information from RFPs, RFQs, suppliers, subcontractors, and project track records. Additionally, it incorporates relevant news and market intelligence to deliver tailored, on-demand insights for users. This comprehensive solution streamlines sourcing and due diligence by consolidating previously manual processes into a single platform, eliminating the need for extensive networks or large analytical teams.
The Taiyo chatbot leverages a more diversified and specialized dataset. It uniquely incorporates a robust internal data structure called the “Taiyo Data Mesh”, which consists of tailored sources, such as historical records, RFPs, RFQs, project news, project opportunities, activities, risk metrics, CIPS, journals, aggregations, private projects, and bid tabs. Taiyo also integrates infra-curated sources and real-time news, offering a richer and more specialized knowledge base for industry-specific insights. Taiyo’s chatbot emphasizes curated, domain-relevant sources to strengthen precision and relevance in its responses to user queries.
With deep experience across AI, finance, and infrastructure, Taiyo’s founders bring the technical and industry expertise needed to modernize this critical sector. We believe Taiyo’s leadership, bolstered by its advisors and deep industry relationships, is well-positioned to transform the infrastructure sector.
We look forward to how Taiyo will continue to expand its platform and leverage AI and data analysis in one of the world’s most antiquated industries.
