Enabling businesses to transform geospatial data into actionable insights faster

At Maya, we are revolutionising how businesses incorporate geospatial data into their decision-making process to drive value creation. By combining geospatial intelligence with AI, we aim to make geospatial data more accessible for every organisation. 

As geospatial datasets become more accurate and affordable, a series of new business use cases will be unlocked, and we believe that AI will further accelerate the integration of geospatial analysis in business decisions, as analysing and interpreting data will be supported through vertical-specific copilots. 

With Maya, we are building a strong partner for companies looking to enter the new era of geospatially-enabled decision-making.
