About The Organizer
CARTO is a leading cloud-native Location Intelligence and spatial data science platform that empowers organisations to analyse, visualise, and derive actionable insights from geospatial data. Founded in 2012, CARTO has grown into one of the world’s foremost spatial analytics technology companies, championing the use of spatial data and analytics across sectors including urban planning, transport, retail, finance, environmental science, logistics, and public policy. The company’s mission is to democratise spatial analysis and enable organisations to use location data to make smarter decisions, bringing powerful geospatial tools out of niche GIS silos and into mainstream data science and business workflows.
As a cloud-first, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, CARTO runs natively on major cloud data warehouses such as Google BigQuery, Snowflake, and AWS Redshift — allowing users to scale spatial analysis without traditional infrastructure constraints. Its suite of tools, including intuitive drag-and-drop workflows, advanced spatial analytics, AI-enabled components and interactive mapping capabilities, allows data scientists, analysts, engineers and developers to explore location-based patterns and integrate spatial insights into business strategies without requiring deep GIS expertise.
CARTO also fosters a global spatial data science community, promoting knowledge exchange and professional development through events such as the Spatial Data Science Conference, which brings together practitioners from both the public and private sectors to share innovations in geospatial analytics and explore new applications of location intelligence
