S3E8: Builders Reality Room – Ecosystem Perspectives on Data and Space Systems

What do we need to build data and space systems that underpin sustainable development? 

In Part II of The Builders Reality Room, we move beyond the builder's journey and into the ecosystem itself.
Bringing together perspectives from startups, funding and development organizations, government institutions, academia, and data and AI practitioners, this conversation explores what happens when the actors responsible for building, enabling, regulating, researching, and scaling systems sit at the same table.

Featuring Agnes Tsuma (GIZ), Eddie Kago (Antugrow), Charles Mwangi (Kenya Space Agency), Kory Korir (Amini), and Dr. Pamela Ochungo (Technical University of Kenya), the discussion unpacks how these ecosystem actors intersect in practice, where the gaps remain, and what it will take to build data and space systems that deliver impact at scale.

This episode is part of Geohabari's Global Data Festival 2026 and Kenya Space Expo Conference series.
