Abstract: As part of the IEEE GRSS and IGARSS 2020 TIE webinar series, please join us in our latest webinar on Geospatial start-ups. Starting a successful geospatial business takes more than just a good idea. This workshop will walk you through the basics of setting up the right legal structure, examining the many funding options, pitching your idea to investors, and marketing your product once the business is up and running. This panel brings together four business experts with decades of experience in the geospatial industry. You will leave this workshop understanding what it takes to start – and run – a business that succeeds for the long term in the competitive global marketplace.

The Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society seeks to advance geoscience and remote sensing science and technology through scientific, technical and educational activities. The Society strives to promote a high level of technical excellence among its members by exchange of information through conferences, meetings, workshops, publications, and through its committees to provide for the needs of its members.

The first meeting of the Eastern North Carolina Chapter of the IEEE-GRSS was held on 13 November, 2003 in the Center of Excellence for Remote Sensing Education and Research (CERSER) Lab. IEEE-GRSS has sponsored several lectures and workshops in CERSER's lab including the following:
