May 10, 2022 (St. Louis, USA) – The United States Government's National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) provides high-quality geospatial intelligence for policymakers, warfighters, first responders, and intelligence professionals. The NGA has developed a first-of-its-kind program in partnership with Missouri Technology Corporation (MTC) and is operated by St. Louis-based Capital Innovators.
Pandata Tech was recently selected from hundreds of national applicants to join NGA's prestigious 13-week hybrid program held at NGA's Moonshot Labs in St. Louis. The eight small businesses invited for cohort three have been in business for an average of over five years and will tackle NGA's four mission imperatives. Pandata Tech's Data Quality Method (DQM) platform addresses the NGA's mission of Data Access and Data Integrity. "Data integrity, or the reliability and trustworthiness of data throughout its lifecycle, coupled with data access, or the ability to acquire, store, and process the increasing diversity of available geospatial data, provides the foundation for all NGA's mission imperatives." — National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

"Maintaining our advantage as the world leader in geospatial intelligence requires a sound digital enterprise. We operate a technologically complex system-of-systems in our quest to 'show the way'— to literally get our customers from point A to point B, to help illuminate options and inform decisions, and to facilitate actions being taken with speed, accuracy, and precision." — Robert D. Sharp, VADM USN, former Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
"NGA remains committed to leveraging commercial technologies by engaging companies with innovative solutions that can help us meet our mission. Thanks to our partnership with MTC, Capital Innovators has created an accelerator that allows us to expose these companies to geospatial problem sets while also connecting them to a host of opportunities the agency has for potential industry engagement and collaboration." — Nicole Washington, Senior Associate for Entrepreneurship & Chief Transformation Officer for NGA Research.
