Press Release
Seefeld, 31st January 2023 – Geoawesomeness has announced the 5th “Global Top 100 Geo”. For the first time, EOMAP has entered this list of the best geospatial companies in the world. For the 2023 edition, over 800 companies had been reviewed. From the shortlisted 262 companies, the expert committee of Geoawesomeness finally picked this year’s “Global Top 100 Geo”. The list features companies that utilize geospatial data and tools to solve problems.
Geoawesomeness – the world’s largest geospatial community – “has been at the forefront of identifying industry trends for over a decade, and we are delighted to see 45 new entrants to our annual list,” said Aleksander Buczkowski, Founder and Editor-in-Chief. EOMAP is one of them.
After four awards in 2022, this new honour spurs EOMAP’s team further on: “For sustainably managing coastal and inland waters, Earth observation and data science are key. They allow us to create “digital twins”, by which we can identify erosion and sediment transport, bathymetry or seagrass habitats”, said Knut Hartmann, COO of EOMAP.
These digital twins help authorities, coastal engineers or scientists to deeply understand water-related dynamics. This again, allows them to better cope with impacts of climate change or natural hazards and to make coastlines more resilient.
“Via the eoApp or APIs, clients have a toolbox at hand to deeply analyse and visualize what is going on in their aquatic environments. They can not only monitor coastal or inland waters continuously, but also look into the past”, explained Karin Schenk, Head of EOMAP’s Water Quality team.
