Our work - Software that helps people work together on hard problems.

We build digital platforms, AI-enabled knowledge systems and network tools for organisations working on complex challenges.

We judge technology by what it lets people do, not by how it looks in a demo. The projects below show our experience and how we approach the work.

Projects

Featured project

CanAdapt

Sector
Climate adaptation, professional development, collaborative networks
Capabilities
AI development, knowledge management, web and mobile applications, platform engineering, community infrastructure

Connecting climate adaptation knowledge, expertise and action.

Climate adaptation is a complex field that changes quickly. Practitioners have to keep up with a growing body of research, shifting policy, new technology and a wide network of expertise, and much of that knowledge is fragmented across organisations, disciplines and jurisdictions.

CanAdapt brings practitioners, organisations, learning opportunities, resources and networks together in one connected platform.

EarthNet

Sector
Sustainability, social innovation, collaborative networks
Capabilities
Platform architecture, network design, software development, strategy

Building networks for collective action.

Many of the hardest problems already have knowledgeable, motivated people working on them. Progress is held back by fragmentation: experts, organisations, funders and practitioners working in separate systems.

EarthNet explored how digital networks and intelligent information systems could reduce those barriers, drawing on systems thinking, network theory, collaborative software and emerging AI.

Climate Risk Institute

Sector
Climate adaptation, professional networks
Capabilities
Digital platforms, community systems, organisational strategy

Modernising professional knowledge sharing.

The Climate Risk Institute builds capacity for climate change adaptation through professional training, knowledge development and practitioner engagement.

Base6’s earlier work with the Institute focused on improving the infrastructure and experience of its professional peer-support networks, using collaborative platform technology and engagement strategies to make taking part easier and more useful.

Every time I talk to you I get excited about the possibilities.

Claire Sanders, CEO of Climate Risk Institute

Youth Climate Corps

Sector
Climate action, youth employment, nonprofit innovation
Capabilities
Strategy, digital development, organisational growth

Supporting the next generation of climate leadership.

Youth Climate Corps initiatives create opportunities for young people to contribute directly to climate mitigation, adaptation and community resilience.

Base6 has supported Youth Climate Corps with strategic guidance, digital projects and network development, helping turn an ambitious mission into practical organisational capacity.

Base6 provided so many unexpected benefits. They were a constant source of support and guidance, and their network was invaluable.

Have a challenge worth solving?

Many of our best projects started as a conversation about a problem with no obvious solution. We bring curiosity, technical skill and a focus on getting things built.
