About Geospatially Africa
Africa's premier platform for geospatial conversations — from GIS and drones to machine learning and beyond.
Driving the African Geospatial Narrative
Geospatially Africa started in April 2021 as "Geospatially Podcast" before evolving into what it is today — a dedicated platform for meaningful conversations about the geospatial industry in Africa and around the world.
As one of the very few media outlets showcasing Afro-centric geospatial talent, expertise, and innovation on a global stage, we drive the narrative around the immense potential within Africa's geospatial ecosystem — and how it contributes to the continent's individual and collective development.
Our Values
African Voices First
We centre African perspectives in the global geospatial conversation, platforming talent, innovation, and expertise from the continent.
Knowledge Sharing
Every episode is a free resource. We believe open access to industry knowledge accelerates growth for the entire community.
Community Driven
Built by the community, for the community. Our guests are nominated by listeners, our topics shaped by what matters most.
