This week St. Louis sees the GEOINT 2021 Symposium fire up at the America’s Center Convention complex tomorrow through Friday.
Bronwyn Morgan, Xeo Air CEO
“This is a great opportunity to network to become a service provider, a partner,” Xeo Air CEO Bronwyn Morgan told the 4thEst8. “For government, as well as private sector, we are definitely on the lookout.”
Most of the companies coming to this weeks GEOINT 2021 Symposium are, frankly, huge companies with millions of dollars in annual government contracts. The 4thEst8 email in box has been flooded with their PR flacks trying to get us to feed their hype. But there are some actual startups presenting at the Symposium – here’s a list:
Xeo Air (St. Louis, MO) – Outsourced AI based drone services, data collection and analytics portal for inspection and mapping.
Kwema (St. Louis, MO) – Smart security badges to improve the safety of workplaces.
Aker Technologies (St. Louis, MO) – Drone and sensor crop data collection and analytics for field specific growth planning.
Cognitive Space (Houston, TX) – An AI platform for real-time satellite management, operational optimization and capacity forecasting.
Another Reality Studio (St. Louis, MO) – An augmented/virtual reality studio that works with clients to make their workflow applications more immersive and effective.
Dynamhex (Kansas City, MO) – A greenhouse gas data platform connecting governments, residents and businesses with clean-tech vendors through an app to form a marketplace for carbon reduction decision making.
NEER (St. Louis, MO) – A machine learning and data analysis platform for water and sewer systems.
CityData (San Francisco, CA) – A software platform pulling in data from many databases to provide governments, businesses and research groups detailed information and analysis about every city in the United States.
Simerse (Los Angeles, CA*) – Information technology company that develops ‘synthetic data’ to help customers more efficiently improve their machine learning models.
You can hear more about these startups in what is billed ‘lightning talks’ (pitches maybe?) Thursday at 3:15 p.m. following the Innovation Panel that starts at 2:30.
* Simerse received an Arch Grant last week and has committed to moving its headquarters to St. Louis for at least one year.
