from GSD Venture Studios Podcasts by Gary Fowler · host GSD Venture Studios

Join Gaetano Volpe, CEO and Co-Founder of Latitudo 40, for a high-altitude look at the future of urban sustainability. As a leader of one of Europe’s most promising deep-tech spin-offs, Gaetano is harnessing Earth Observation data to solve the most pressing challenges of our cities. In this episode, we explore how Latitudo 40 uses "EarthDataInsights" to build digital twins that allow city planners to simulate heat mitigation and flood risks before spending a single euro on infrastructure—turning satellite imagery into a powerful engine for climate resilience.🎯 Insights You’ll Learn:✓ Transforming Urban Resilience: How geospatial AI turns satellite pixels into climate action✓ The Power of Digital Twins: Simulating mitigation strategies to ensure ROI on green infrastructure✓ EarthDataInsights: Turning raw climate-risk data into actionable, automated decisions✓ Deep-Tech from Naples: Scaling a global innovation leader from the heart of the Mediterranean✓ The 2026 Climate Mandate: Why every city needs an Earth Observation strategy to survive✓ Strategic Partnerships: How university spin-offs can bridge the gap between research and market✓ The AI Edge: Using machine learning to monitor urban sprawl and carbon sequestration in real-time🌍 Why This Matters:Cities are on the front lines of the climate crisis, facing extreme heat and unpredictable flooding. Traditional urban planning is often reactive, but Gaetano Volpe is making it proactive. By leveraging "eye-in-the-sky" data and advanced AI, Latitudo 40 provides a "time machine" for city leaders, allowing them to test the impact of their decisions in a virtual environment. This data-driven approach ensures that the cities of the future are not only sustainable but resilient enough to protect their citizens.👤 Expert Background:• CEO & Co-Founder of Latitudo 40, a leader in Geospatial AI and Earth Observation• Business-driven leader focused on strategic partnerships and deep-tech scaling• Founder of a successful spin-off from the University of Naples Federico II• Expert in urban monitoring, climate risk analysis, and sustainable decision-making• Pioneer in the intersection of space technology and environmental ESG metrics🎙️ Hosted by Gary Fowler, CEO of GSD Venture Studios — global AI entrepreneur, investor, and innovation leader spotlighting founders navigating the realities of building in the AI era.💡 Perfect For:City planners, sustainability officers, ESG investors, geospatial engineers, and deep-tech founders looking to understand the future of Earth Observation and urban climate tech.🚀 Timely Topic:In 2026, data is the foundation of the green transition. The cities that thrive will be those that move away from static maps and toward live, AI-powered digital twins to navigate a changing climate.Subscribe for more global founder conversations from GSD Venture Studios:https://gsdvs.com#EarthObservation #ClimateResilience #GeospatialAI #DigitalTwins #Latitudo40 #SmartCities #DeepTech #GaetanoVolpe #GaryFowler #GSDVentureStudios
