Recent Geomob London speaker (April 2024) Wil Waters discusses the Geospatial Index, a listing of publicly traded geospatial companies he has developed. Wil is host of a new geospatial podcast of the same name. He explains the motivation behind the project and the potential for geospatial practitioners to capture more value from the industry. Wil also explores the idea of creating a publicly tradable entity based on the Geospatial Index and the challenges involved. He emphasizes the importance of taking a systematic approach to investing and encourages geospatial professionals to consider ownership positions in geospatial companies.
