Building a Connected FutureMembangun Masa Depan yang Terhubung
Bagus Imam Darmawan
It began with spatial technology. Who knew it would lead me here, now building logistics and IoT too. The goal stays the same: build the largest geospatial data ecosystem, starting from Indonesia.Semuanya berawal dari teknologi spasial. Siapa sangka, kini saya juga membangun teknologi logistik dan IoT. Tujuannya tetap sama: membangun ekosistem data geospasial terbesar, dimulai dari Indonesia.
“We live on a small planet. Believe this: your past and your future are connected by place.”“Bumi kita kecil. Percayalah: masa lalu dan masa depanmu terhubung oleh ruang.”
I studied Geoinformatics at Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, Germany. I started my first startup out of a passion for spatial technology.Saya menempuh studi Geoinformatika di Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, Jerman. Saya mendirikan startup pertama saya dari kecintaan pada teknologi spasial.
Then I discovered how vast ‘spatial’ truly is. It connected me to the perspectives of many industries.Ternyata dunia spasial jauh lebih luas dari bayangan saya. Dari sana saya terhubung dengan sudut pandang beragam industri.
