Top 100 Geoawesome companies for 2023

CITYDATA is Geoawesome!  

Geoawesomeness announced that CITYDATA is in their Global Top 100 Geos for 2023. This is an annual list of the best geospatial companies in the world as determined by an expert committee after reviewing hundreds of companies.

The 16 industry luminaries on the expert committee included Dr. Nadine Alameh, Justyna Redelkiewicz, Chiara Solimini, Carly Morris, Wilfred Waters, Olivia Powell, Sives Govender, Jonathan Neufeld, Osamu Ochiai, Ng Siau Yong, Denise McKenzie, Maggie Cawley, Holli Howard, Esther Ogbu, Aleksander Buczkowski and Muthukumar Kumar.

"CITYDATA's founding thesis is that mobility intelligence is a critical input for data-driven decision making for local and regional governments to create smarter, safer, equitable, and resilient cities," said Apurva Kumar, Founder and CEO of CITYDATA. "Our thanks to Geoawesomeness and their selection committee for their due diligence and their vote of confidence in CITYDATA. We are humbled to be included in this elite list of 100 geospatial powerhouses," he added.

CITYDATA was founded in the depths of the pandemic when mobility patterns started to change dramatically in our cities. Two years later, the company's founding thesis has proven to be correct. Cities around the world are researching mobility patterns using massive datasets and applying geospatial algorithms to make sense of them. CITYDATA's geospatial products like CITYFLOW and CITYSIM and CITYPARKS are utilized to make key policy decisions about future mobility, vertiports, electrification, transportation planning, operational execution, and disaster resilience.

The Geoawesomeness team reviewed over 800 companies and created a shortlist of 262 companies consisting of companies featured in the previous 3 editions, officially nominated companies, and expert inputs. The expert committee then cast their votes on the shortlist of 262 companies helping decide the Global Top 100 Geospatial Companies list for 2023.  

“The annual list is an essential source of information about companies that are utilizing geospatial data and tools to solve problems,” said Muthukumar Kumar, Managing Partner at Geoawesomeness “and is aimed to help our community make sense of the ever-changing geospatial industry ecosystem.”
“Geoawesomeness 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. We are grateful to all members of our expert committee for their time and critical inputs in helping shape this year’s list,” said Aleksander Buczkowski, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Geoawesomeness.
