Company Spotlight: AnyWay Solutions

Israel is a hub for innovative technology that has profound potential to impact developing countries and emerging economies. Challenges such as food security, energy access, and water quality are major barriers to advancing economic empowerment throughout developing countries and very often draw immediate attention. However, one key barrier often overlooked is the actual road it takes to get there. 

Across Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), resilient roads and transport networks are essential for economic opportunity, food security, and social connectivity. As the world grapples with sustainable development challenges, the road construction sector needs data-driven, context-sensitive, climate-resilient approaches to  build roads that will endure overtime, withstand climate shocks and properly serve the communities around them. 

This month, we’re proud to feature AnyWay Solutions, an engineering company that has spent over two decades building climate-resilient transport infrastructure that empowers communities in emerging markets, with a deliberate emphasis on strengthening economic and social connectivity in LMICs around the world.

This spotlight is not only about what AnyWay Solutions builds, but about how the company’s approach evolved over time. By following its path from traditional engineering projects to climate-resilient infrastructure in emerging markets, we aim to surface practical lessons for innovators seeking to build both impact and viable businesses in complex environments.

Why LMICs? A Purpose-Driven Focus

AnyWay Solutions did not initially set out to work specifically in LMICs, but over time the company recognized the tangible impact its work could have on people’s lives. Early projects in underserved and rural regions exposed the team to environments where standard engineering assumptions did not hold, due to limited maintenance budgets, extreme weather, and heavy social dependence on single transport corridors. 

The many road projects they were involved in, through design or supervision in Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Ethiopia, Ghana and Rwanda (to name a few), have supported housing, businesses, schools, and local markets for decades, often in rural or peri-urban areas where infrastructure is sparse. The result of operating in limited-infrastructure settings pushed the company to adapt its methods, prioritize durability over short-term cost savings, and engage more closely with local authorities and communities to understand real operational needs. This inspired the team to focus on regions where their work could deliver lasting social and economic value while emerging markets offered opportunities for sustainable growth. By targeting areas where both need and potential return intersect, AnyWay Solutions demonstrates that doing good and building a viable business can go hand in hand.

Founded in 1999 with a patented soil stabilization technology, AnyWay Solutions has since expanded its offerings to include advanced engineering services that are focused on climate resiliency for transport infrastructure. As projects expanded into climate-vulnerable and resource-constrained regions, the company integrated satellite data, AI, flood modeling, and digital road asset management tools to compensate for limited historical data available in these places and reduce uncertainty during planning and construction.

The company integrates satellite data, AI, flood modeling, and digital road asset management tools into planning, design, construction supervision, and asset management, all of which makes the designs and solutions offered much more resilient to climate incidents and much more durable over time. Today, AnyWay Solutions operates globally with a strong focus on emerging markets throughout South Pacific, Asia, and Africa, with projects across multiple countries.

Why Climate Resilience Matters

Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe, and roads built on historical data alone often deteriorate, cutting off communities and limiting economic activity. On top of that, there is the cost of economic damage caused by roads that are lost to quick deterioration. AnyWay Solutions addresses this with a holistic, climate-smart approach: predictive modeling, real-time environmental data, and on-the-ground assessments help anticipate floods, erosion, and other hazards. Thanks to this deep analysis, roads are designed and reinforced for changing conditions, enabling agricultural goods to reach markets reliably and local economies to thrive. Beyond technical design, the company integrates maintenance planning, digital monitoring, and asset management to create infrastructure that is resilient and sustainable over its entire lifespan.

Closing the Gap: Farm-to-Market Roads and Food Security

Infrastructure is not just about mobility; it is a backbone for economic activity, social inclusion, and resilience. Without dependable roads, farmers struggle to sell their crops at fair prices, goods spoil before reaching markets, and development programs fail to reach the communities that need them most. Unreliable roads affect every facet of life: families miss critical health services, children face barriers to education, farmers miss out on access to markets, and essential services are severely limited. These infrastructure gaps can trap communities in cycles of poverty and vulnerability.

As an example, in the Philippines, where 65,000 kilometers of farm to market roads needs to be upgraded in order to enhance food security and market access, AnyWay has developed a comprehensive plan for Farm-To-Market-Roads that has been presented to the Government. By combining digital advanced technologies with working with local agencies and agricultural stakeholders, the company identified which routes mattered most for seasonal access, market days, and post-harvest transport, as opposed to solely focusing on traffic volume. Climate-resilient routes will give farmers reliable access to inputs, extension services, and local marketplaces, while post-harvest technologies like cold storage and processing facilities could reach rural communities efficiently. Thoughtful infrastructure planning closes these gaps, enabling communities to withstand climate shocks, sustain livelihoods, and participate fully in local and regional economies. Such an approach supports achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that were set by the international community through the UN and other institutions. Through implementing designs and solutions that are focused on climate resiliency for transport infrastructure projects, as many as 14 out of the 17 SDGs can be achieved. 

Lessons for Entrepreneurs

Companies entering LMICs can learn from AnyWay Solutions’ experience: start small, validate early, and let local needs guide growth. Flexibility, collaboration, and embedding impact into the business model are key to achieving scalable, lasting impact.
