TaQadam means Progress. TaQadam is a female founded startup that aims to advance economic opportunity for youth and democratize GEO-AI. TaQadam develops imagery solutions for market intelligence, monitoring and measuring of business risks and vulnerabilities. We believe the development of a global map of physical assets and infrastructure is essential in today’s context. Identifying assets (e.g. mines, farm equipment, schools) and their features (e.g. cooling, water tanks, construction materials) is a way to build alternative data for sustainable growth and risk mitigation. Extending an economic opportunity to disadvantaged youth through our image annotation work is at the core of our business.
