What If Becomes What’s Next: Inside the TGI-AWS GeoAI Challenge
What if you could stand outside a building and instantly know its emissions profile? What if your smart assistant not only told you what you’re looking at, but also knew where you were standing – and why it mattered? What if old geological records, long buried in PDF…
How Geospatial Innovation Can Reduce Food Waste and Improve Access to Nutrition
Every year, around 1.3 billion tons of food – nearly a third of total global food production – goes to waste (FAO). At the same time, 733 million people faced hunger in 2023, with one in five affected in Africa (WHO). It’s a painful paradox: tons of food are thrown away while millions go without.
