About us
Practical, location-specific intelligence for a changing planet.
GeoVita Intelligence is an emerging GeoAI startup developing intelligent geospatial solutions for monitoring, modelling and early assessment of environmental and health-related risks.
Our story
From the lab to the field.
GeoVita grew out of years of research in photogrammetry, remote sensing and GeoAI applied to some of the world's most persistent health problems — from mapping Anopheles larval habitats with aerial imagery to forecasting malaria endemicity across an entire continent.
Again and again the same lesson appeared: the science works, but it rarely reaches the people who decide where to inspect, spray or warn. GeoVita exists to close that gap by turning validated research methods into operational, cost-effective tools.
We are building our technology through international scientific collaboration and local validation, with partnerships across Africa, the Middle East and Europe.
Vision
A scalable GeoAI platform for environmental and health-risk intelligence, combining Earth observation, UAV imagery, GIS, artificial intelligence and field-based validation.
Mission
Transform complex geospatial and environmental data into practical, location-specific intelligence that helps public institutions, companies, researchers and communities understand and manage risk.
What we stand for
Principles behind every map we make.
Evidence over hype
We report uncertainty and limitations as clearly as results.
Local validation
Models earn trust where they are used, with local data and expertise.
Cost-effective impact
Targeted action instead of blanket coverage saves time and resources.
Partnership
We build with ministries, researchers and communities — not around them.
