In a world where buildings, cities, and systems are becoming more connected daily, Ali Hamidi, Co-founder and CEO of Hanatech, is helping organizations make sense of it all. Based in Atlantic Canada, Hanatech develops tools that combine data, sensors, and artificial intelligence to help people run smarter, safer, and more sustainable operations.
“We blend operational technology with advanced analytics to support intelligent environments,” Ali explains. “It’s about using data to make better decisions and improve how systems work together.”
Hanatech didn’t start out as an AI company. In its early days, Hamidi and his team focused on IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and remote monitoring. But as technology evolved and client needs changed, he saw an opportunity to do more.
Today, Hanatech builds what Ali calls intelligent ecosystems, connected environments that use data and machine learning to adapt on their own. Imagine a building that lowers its energy use during off-hours, or a city parking system that automatically adjusts pricing based on demand.
“We see intelligent ecosystems as environments where systems interact autonomously,”
Ali Hamidi says. They help organizations save energy, improve safety, and plan more effectively. At the end of the day, this leads to significant cost savings, which clearly demonstrates the efficiency of their solutions.
What sets Hanatech apart, he adds, is its end-to-end approach. While many companies specialize in just one piece of the puzzle, Hanatech brings everything together — hardware, software, networking, and on-the-ground setup, so clients don’t need to manage multiple vendors.
The company’s technology is already making an impact. Its smart parking systems use AI to adjust pricing in real time, improving space turnover and revenue. Energy management tools in older buildings detect inefficiencies in HVAC systems and automatically adjust settings to reduce waste and cut costs. In industrial settings, real-time dashboards track performance and materials, helping teams spot bottlenecks and make faster, data-driven decisions.
Security and sustainability are central to Hanatech’s design. All systems use encrypted data, zero-trust frameworks, and strict access controls to keep connected environments safe. They also help clients track energy savings, reduce emissions, and meet environmental and ESG goals.
“Every solution we build is designed to reduce waste and improve efficiency,” Ali Hamidi notes.
Being based in Atlantic Canada has shaped Hanatech’s approach in meaningful ways. Hamidi says the region’s close-knit business community and strong spirit of innovation have inspired the team to design agile, scalable solutions that work across different industries and geographies. Today, those solutions are supporting clients not only here at home, but across Canada, the United States, and beyond.
Looking ahead,Ali Hamidi plans to expand Hanatech’s AI-powered platforms into sectors like energy, health, and mobility, while playing a larger role in smart city and industrial transformation projects.
Hanatech’s story is proof that technology can make operations more connected, efficient, and sustainable, without losing sight of real-world needs. It’s a strong example of Atlantic Canadian innovation shaping the future of how we build, manage, and live in smarter environments.
