We’re excited to announce that the Taylor Geospatial Institute (TGI) has joined the Cloud Native Geospatial Forum (CNG). CNG promotes cloud-based, collaborative approaches to geospatial data, making it more accessible, scalable, and cost-effective. TGI’s investment in CNG provides an avenue for participation and learning to our consortium members. “The Cloud Native Geospatial Forum could not have come at a better time for TGI. Cloud-native geospatial technology is one of the pillars of our mission to create a scalable, open, and FAIR collaborative research infrastructure that empowers our researchers to deliver repeatable and reproducible science,” said Nadine Alameh, Executive Director of Taylor Geospatial Institute. “We fully expect many fruitful collaborations to emerge from TGI’s contributions to our community of geospatial data users from across government, academia, enterprises, and startups.” said Jed Sundwall, Executive Director of Cloud-Native Geospatial Forum (CNG). “TGI is uniquely positioned to train the next generation of geospatial experts, and we’re eager to help them learn from and contribute to the cloud-native geospatial community. 👉 Read more about it: https://lnkd.in/gxrtYsUY

🚀 Tackling Global Food Security with Geospatial Innovation 🌍 We are at a pivotal moment for food security. With shifting climate patterns, increasing waste, inequity, and resource management challenges, innovative solutions are more critical than ever. Geospatial technologies like satellite imagery, GIS, and remote sensing are already transforming the way we monitor and manage agricultural systems. But to truly make a global impact, we need collaboration across sectors—from geospatial scientists to farmers to policymakers. The Geospatial Innovation for Food Security Challenge is bringing together experts in wide-ranging areas to harness cutting-edge technology and data-driven solutions that will shape a more sustainable and equitable global food system. Learn more about the TGI Challenge, the first collaborative workshop, and how we’re driving change in the food system in our latest article. 🌱 Read more about the TGI Challenge and the future of food security here: https://lnkd.in/gc6vuFvx #GeospatialTechnology #FoodSecurity #Innovation #Sustainability #Collaboration #AgTech #GlobalChallenges #TGIChallenge #TechForGood #GeoForGood
