"International organisations that monitor epidemics, climate change and food security, companies in the financial and insurance sector, and authorities and governments inevitably act within space and rely on the evaluation of geodata. Complex geographical questions, in particular, can be responded to better when we draw on various sources of information, and combine and integrate data. However, geodata is provided in a wide range of formats, projections and scales and is difficult to integrate without laborious preparation and expertise."

The Challenge

The GeoInsight project promises a paradigm shift in the handling of Big Geodata: Using artificial intelligence, the founders Dr. Gino Caspari, Dr. Ana Gago da Silva, Dr. Michael Jendryke and João Carlos dos Santos Manuel want to evaluate the growing flood of geographical data so that it can also be used without a great deal of expert knowledge, time and effort.

The team of founders is developing a data platform that combines the geodata in a hierarchical network of hexagonal cells and evaluates it using artificial intelligence. Users can concentrate on information and knowledge. “We call this system ‘An intelligent earth with a digital brain’,” says Gino Caspari.
