We involve geospatial in networking, event contribution, co-creating the geospatial guidelines with other stakeholders.

You will need a curious mind with creative hands, and the ability to grab more like-minded people to do it together. There could be a few good combinations for all other inventions.

Keep 2-3 years of savings before you start any business.
