Every year, Open Data Day (ODD) serves as a global celebration of open data, highlighting its importance in fostering transparency, innovation, and collaboration across various industries. Maintained and supported by the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN) through the Open Knowledge Network, ODD encourages groups worldwide to create local events where they use open data in their communities. Since 2023, organizations have had the flexibility to host an Open Data Day event within a one-week period, ensuring greater inclusivity and participation. In 2025, Open Data Day will take place from March 1-7.
While we are unable to participate directly this year, we want to take this opportunity to emphasize the crucial role that open data plays in the geospatial and Earth observation (EO) sectors.
As a company dedicated to geodata and EO, mundialis specializes in processing and analyzing open geospatial data to develop innovative solutions for environmental monitoring, climate resilience, and urban planning. We utilize open satellite imagery, geospatial datasets, and #AI-powered analytics to provide valuable insights that drive #sustainability and informed decision-making.
At mundialis, we strongly endorse open data initiatives that enhance accessibility and collaboration within our field. We actively contribute to open-source projects, such as our cloud-based geoprocessing platform Actinia, and the GRASSGIS Addons we’ve contributed to.
