Ageospatial co-founded by the GEM alumnus, Maaz Seikh, wins the 3rd prize at the Swiss IC Forum.
The Lausanne-based startup works on solutions to make location data analysis (geospatial) accessible for vulnerable communities, to support them in their informed response to emergencies. After a successful plugin (Geo+ for ChatGPT) on the ChatGPT Store, Ageospatial developed ‘GeoForge’, a web geospatial platform that empowers users to rapidly assess damage from natural disasters, map risks and critical infrastructure, by removing technical barriers and improving accessibility unlike traditional geospatial software.
Demonstration "GeoForge" with a Bangladesh case study
GeoForge was used for analysing a flood event in Bangladesh. In less than 30 seconds and by using a text prompt, the platform was able to display near real-time satellite imagery, and extract the flood extent.
