Open Industrial Project Tracker

Crowdsourced and AI-assisted tracking of global infrastructure and industrial projects

Problem

A developer tried using AI agents to map major announced infrastructure and industrial projects worldwide, but data goes stale and inaccurate without community validation. Researchers and investors wanting to know what projects are coming online in a region or sector must rely on scattered news and expensive databases, with no transparent collaborative source.

Solution

A collaborative industrial project database. Browse global announced infrastructure and industrial projects by region, sector, and timeline. AI handles initial ingestion and periodic news scraping for updates, while community users add, correct, and vote. Each project shows status (planned, under construction, operational), key dates, funding sources, and source links, with a public API for further analysis.

Users

Industry researchers, supply chain analysts, investment research assistants, infrastructure and energy professionals

MVP

Browse projects by region/sector/timeline; AI scrapes and structures project info from news; user additions, corrections, and voting; source links and status change history per project; public read-only API

Revenue

Free public browsing; subscription unlocks advanced filters, exports, project change alerts, and API quota; enterprise tier offers custom data feeds and private dashboards

Why now

Many infrastructure projects are slated post-2026, and demand for this info is surging. AI scraping and structuring costs have dropped, so an indie can build a niche data product maintained by community plus AI.
