Textron | Turning Chaos Into Insights Challenge (2)

We as a society are drowning in data. Over the past decade the volume of data to analyze has grown exponentially and there is no end in sight. Companies that can identify ways to take datasets from a variety of sources and transform this chaos into meaningful insights can be incredibly successful, just ask companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. Textron Systems is looking for teams that can identify a way to combine geospatial data with open source data to produce a meaningful insight, such as highlighting trends, activities, and anomalies that are not perceptible without combining data in a certain way. Geospatial data includes satellite imagery, maps, video, and GIS data that is freely available from a variety of providers ranging from Government agencies, non-profit organizations, and companies. Open data sources include media (newspapers, magazines, etc.), Internet (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.), public Government data (weather, environmental, budgets, etc.), and commercial data (publications, financial reports, etc.) Successful teams will be those that can demonstrate an ability to fuse together multiple datasets and identify something interesting or visualize something interesting that is not easily obtainable through existing services.
