Esri Startup Programme
by Startacus Admin
Any of you who like to keep abreast of major developments within the worlds of enterprise and technology, will no doubt be aware that data analytics has skyrocketed in significance in recent years.
One specific area that startups are seizing upon as a high-potential means of growth and development is location analytics, which help them to ‘geo-enable’ their business data allowing for deeper insights and a more informed approach to problem solving!
It would seem that ‘location, location, location’ is more true today than it ever has been!
Although it might sound rather sophisticated, complex, or indeed niche, the range of businesses which could gain a competitive advantage through the use of location analytics is really very broad.
Fortunately and rather usefully, a global player in this industry is making great strides to help spread the benefits of this technology to new and emerging business.
Esri Startup Program
We are rather pleased to share with you a global, free and growing programme which is equipping startups and emerging businesses with the tools to build location and mapping analytics capabilities into their products.
The programme, created by Esri, delivers Geographic Information System (GIS) software, to build geospatial technology into their solutions and business models.
The free programme lasts for 3 years and will endow startups with ArcGIS online services, software development tools, ready-to-use content, training, technical support, global partnership opportunities, and co-marketing to help entrepreneurs starting technology product businesses with a mapping and location component.
