AVENTURA, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / July 10, 2025 / Safe Pro Group Inc. (Nasdaq:SPAI) ("Safe Pro" or the "Company"), an emerging leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered security and threat detection solutions, today announced that its AI subsidiary, Safe Pro AI, was selected as a finalist in the Humanitarian Innovation Accelerator Innovation Weeks program created by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them," said the legendary scientist, Albert Einstein.

Safe Pro AI's application entitled, "Enhancing safety and food security through AI detection of landmines in Ukrainian agricultural fields" was selected as one of eight finalists in the Humanitarian Innovation Accelerator Innovation Weeks program which saw 579 applications from 103 countries. It was also the only U.S. AI technology selected for participation in the program. Following the Innovation Weeks, all eight teams will have the opportunity to submit their sprint proposals. Four of them will be selected to implement their sprint plans and will undergo a rigorous due diligence process. Once approved, the teams will be inducted into Humanitarian Innovation Accelerator's 12-month sprint cohort and awarded funding of up to US$150,000.

"The selection of Safe Pro AI as a finalist in this prestigious global humanitarian technology innovation program is a testament to the dedication of our team and the unique capabilities of our patented, American-made AI-powered computer vision technology. As demonstrated in Ukraine over the past 2.5 years, the ability to rapidly analyze drone-based video and imagery with AI represents a paradigm shift in humanitarian demining, enabling the industry to better address the global challenge and scale of landmine contamination cost-effectively," said Dan Erdberg, chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group Inc. "We wish to congratulate our Safe Pro AI team on this latest achievement which recognizes our commitment to utilize our AI technology in agriculture to contribute to WFP's mission of ending hunger and contributing to food stability."
