African voices first
We centre African perspectives in the global geospatial conversation, platforming talent, innovation, and expertise from the continent.
About the show
Africa's geospatial stories, told by the people shaping them.
Geospatially Africa Podcast started in April 2021 and was originally called Geospatially Podcast. We changed the name to Geospatially Africa Podcast to make it more African-centric: a podcast holding interesting conversations about the industry in Africa and around the world.
We are one of the few media outlets showcasing Afro-centric geospatial talent, expertise, and innovation globally. We strive to drive the narrative of the immense potential within the African geospatial industry, while exploring how it contributes to Africa's individual and collective development.
