Today I am introducing the Indoor Subindex Monthly News Digest. Recently I had the pleasure of doing an episode on The Geospatial Index with Alex, the CEO of Navigine. Navigine and I have decided to collaborate on a news digest about the industry. Each month, we'll publish a video covering the most interesting customer needs, innovations and news from the Indoor subindex. See this playlist to keep track. Navigine specializes in providing indoor navigation and asset tracking solutions for a variety of industrial applications. These include manufacturing, logistics, retail, healthcare, and many others. For examples of what they do along with other subindex participants, see this first news digest video. You can also check out their open source Indoor Routing Library SDK. You may be interested in the slides or spreadsheet shown in the video. Needless to say, please provide corrections or additions to this subindex in the comments. THE GEOSPATIAL INDEX The Geospatial Index is a comprehensive listing of all publicly traded geospatial businesses worldwide. Why? The industry is growing at ~5% annually (after inflation and after adjusting for base rates). This rate varies significantly, however, by sub index. For $480,000 to start, this growth rate is $5,000,000 over a working life. This channel, Bluesky account, newsletter, watchlist and podcast express the view that you are serious about geospatial if you take the view of an investor, venture capitalist or entrepreneur. You are expected to do your own research. This is not a replacement for that. This is not investment advice. Consider it entertainment.
