| RWI Launches First Ever Synthetic Canada What tools are industry, governments, and communities utilizing to make consequential decisions in the face of unprecedented conditions that are dynamic, interconnected, and significant?
Decision makers are navigating complexity without the accessible, data-backed insights they need to see, solve, and operationalize de-risked investments, environments, and policy-related decisions.
This is our why. On March 3, RWI Synthetics launches Synthetic Canada: our high-fidelity 6D sandbox — which includes 3D GIS, Context, Time, and People Agentic Entity AI — capable of de-risking forward looking scenarios in emergency management, environmental factors and climate change, infrastructure, housing, major projects, energy transition, health, defence and security, technology, and more.

Canadian leaders are utilizing strategic foresight to place their local or regional challenges within provincial, national, and global contexts. Innovative tools such as Synthetic Canada enable them to determine the best approach with confidence to the dynamic opportunities and challenges they face.
In Synthetic Canada, users overlay and explore the intersection of all elements of the built environment, including transportation, grid infrastructure, and the natural environment, in real-time, across global, national, and regional contexts, all through an intuitive interface. What sets RWI apart is that Synthetic Canada contains a representative synthetic population. This ensures that the human element is never left behind in decision-making, with information spanning demographics, economics, and health conditions, using never-identified data. “Today, leaders in many nations are challenged by extraordinary and dynamic landscapes,” says RWI CEO and Co-founder Myrna Bittner. “Whether it is national security, climate, economics, critical resources and infrastructure, or even the health futures of their people, the high-fidelity decision-support sandbox capability demonstrated by Synthetic Canada is a welcome addition.” Unique Factors of Synthetic Canada 6 Dimensions: Transforming cities, regions, and environments into detailed 3D models enriched with time (4D), context (5D), and hyperlocalized population data (6D). Speed: Rapidly create complex synthetic twin environments for immediate application across use cases. Versatility of Deployment/User-Friendly: Deployable in any environment, from the office to the field, and used on a laptop or tablet. Energy Consumption: Operates without need for data centres or additional power or water sources. Security: Data securely stored within Canada.

| RWI Labs: Complex Systems, Intelligent Solutions.
Navigating complexity in the age of AI requires balancing technological advancement with environmental responsibility and community impact.
RUNWITHIT Synthetics recently launched INFLECTOR AI, by RWI Labs: an agent-based, inferential, artificial intelligence. INFLECTOR AI challenges the standard assumptions of AI with its hyper-efficiency and fractional compute. |

In an identical task of synthesizing a population, including all the individuals and households in Canada, with demographic and geographic accuracy within 5%, ChatGPT estimated the use of 3,000,000 litres of water, 1,500 kilowatt-hours of electricity, and 1,500 kg of CO2e. In comparison, INFLECTOR AI completed this challenge while consuming only 3 kilowatt-hours of electricity, using 2-10 litres of water, and producing 100-200 grams of CO2e. “It’s helping reimagine better futures for people and the planet, while treading lightly, using minimal power and water, and producing very little carbon relative to mainstream approaches. This kind of technology shouldn’t be as novel and rare as INFLECTOR AI, but it is,” says Dean Bittner, CTO and principal creator of INFLECTOR AI. |

| Complexities Demand Synthetic Resilience in Taiwan For many around the globe, navigating the complexities inherent to climate resilience is vital to protecting their communities from disaster and destruction. In Nov. 2025, RWI signed a historic memorandum of understanding with the Taiwan Indigenous Sustainable Development Association (TISDA) to create multi-scenario simulations to anticipate extreme weather impacts, plan resource allocation, prepare for evacuation needs, and facilitate the growth of eco-tourism. Myrna and Dean Bittner recently returned to Taipei to continue working toward their goal: using synthetic twin intelligence to enable resilience and opportunity in Taiwan.
Moreover, Myrna was invited to deliver a keynote at the World System Integrator Conference in Taipei on March 17, sharing our world-class insights on how synthetic intelligence empowers people-first, evidence-driven decision-making.

From Transport to Transformation: Navigating Connected, Complex City Systems
Cities are being required to navigate complexity not as isolated variables, but as resilient, interconnected systems. We were invited to speak at the 2026 Connected Places Summit in London, U.K, where on March 19, RWI’s Kjell Kolstad presented “Seeing your Cities in 6D.” This presentation demonstrated how RWI is advancing AI-driven digital twins with synthetic populations, enabling transportation and infrastructure decision-makers to visualize and clarify complex futures, providing certainty and precision with speed.
Enhancing not only mobility and logistics but also municipal and urban design remains a primary application of RWI’s synthetic twins. This ranges from our finalist position in the City Architecture of Tomorrow Challenge in Kuala Lumpur, where we modelled residents’ lives and city infrastructure, to exploring policies that improve inclusivity and accessibility through 2040, or more recently, creating high-fidelity ROI and ROIC estimates for infrastructure, workforce, land, and logistics investments in the Edmonton region.

| Navigating De-siloization with REAL Insights As challenges grow more interconnected, collaboration and de-siloing are now essential for leaders seeking to navigate complexity through shared contexts rather than fragmented data.
Since 2024, our Regional Advanced Laboratory (REAL) members have attended RWI’s quarterly workshops where deep-dive topics are analyzed, visualized, and synthesized in our high-fidelity, interactive Holodeck. Whether it’s simulating cascading disasters and power outages, calculating the ROI of investing in the Edmonton region as an inland port, or showcasing the impacts of economic precarity, REAL workshops provide attendees with actionable insights and converged data. |

As REAL enters its third year, we’re making these insights available to the full teams of our partner organizations: members will now have access to the synthetic intelligence of REAL meetings through hybridized attendance options and take-home materials.
Intuitive enough to run on consumer laptops or tablets, this advancement enables greater knowledge and collaboration across decision-makers and their organizations, making REAL membership more valuable than ever. |

RWI Synthetics never stops running. Q1 of 2026 has been filled with product launches, our newly developed homepage, and fantastic events, both at home and abroad.
We were active locally and in our community: RWI hosted an incredible afternoon full of networking, engagement, and one massive, exciting announcement for Technology Alberta’s Friendly Friday, exhibited at a U of A industry night in March, and participated in the Coldest Night of the Year charity walk in February. And RWI representatives advanced thought leadership through speaking engagements and exhibitions across the globe, traveling to Vegas, Taipei, and London. And we’ve plenty more in store over the next few months. RWI will be at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Trade Show in June, and Myrna Bittner will be delivering another keynote address at the Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA) Insurance RiskPro Communities symposium in late April.
RWI Synthetics will never stop innovating amid unprecedented complexity. We’re going to keep challenging assumptions about AI, helping leaders face unprecedented problems, and working on building better tomorrows for all. |

RUNWITHIT Synthetics works to create visibly better futures by modelling and visualizing interconnected and interdependent systems. The most important of these are our connections with the Land and with each other. Globally, and for time immemorial, Indigenous Peoples have cared for and stewarded the Lands, so that each of us today can benefit from all the gifts the Land provides. We acknowledge the First Peoples who continue to live in kinship with the Land and demonstrate to others the importance of reciprocity, so that we may all create and share in an abundant world. We acknowledge the impact our decisions have on all of our living relatives, past, present and future, and our role in preserving and improving our world for all those yet to come. |
