SOLVING SPATIAL CHALLENGES
About StraTopo
We support governments and companies in making strategic choices on spatial issues using geographic data and technology.
We support governments and engineering and research firms in making strategic choices about spatial issues. We do this through the use of geographic data and technology. We develop web APIs, ready-made datasets, software development and customized analyzes and visualizations, among other things. Ultimately, we want to ensure that the customer achieves greater returns thanks to data-driven decision-making.
Vision
Our vision is to identify and develop valuable and reusable technology—rooted in our involvement in spatial challenges—that empowers our users to make better decisions in shaping, organizing, and maintaining our physical environment and society.
Mission
Our mission is to use innovative technology to make the impact of spatial decisions transparent, enabling governments and businesses to make smart choices that create both economic and societal value for a future-proof world.
About us
By becoming closely involved in spatial challenges, we actively explore whether, when, and where automation and technology can support and optimize spatial processes. Our team has the skills and expertise to advise on data and transform it into insights that support important decision-making.
Drawing on the knowledge gained from jointly navigating spatial processes—such as visualizing movement patterns and prioritizing investment decisions—we continuously assess whether automating technical workflows is worth the investment. This is how our solutions were created.
We developed our routing engine to perform accessibility calculations quickly, consistently, and in a standardized way. This allows us to rapidly support policymakers, engineering firms, and project developers with accessibility insights. The service has also been expanded into an API, enabling users to integrate it directly into their own environments.
For data-oriented organizations looking to enrich their models with environmental data, we created the Environment API. This API provides access to a wide range of environmental variables—more than 700—that describe the surroundings of any address or coordinate. Our clients use this data to explore relationships with a variety of themes, including property valuation and public health.
Spatial strategists—such as policymakers, event planners, and real estate investors—require insights into “what-if” scenarios. After many consultancy projects, we developed our Scenario Manager, which allows users to modify the spatial environment and instantly obtain targeted, theme-specific insights.
Team
We are a close-knit team of professionals with backgrounds in data science, software development, spatial planning, mobility, geosciences, and consultancy.
We are accustomed to working closely with field experts across various sectors, including mobility, urban planning, spatial development, real estate management, logistics, and area and project development.
In carrying out our projects, we prefer to work in direct contact with our clients. Our approach is iterative: we develop custom software and analyses based on continuous feedback, ensuring that the final result aligns perfectly with the client’s needs.
Our location: Qeske Maastricht
Since its founding, StraTopo has been part of the Qeske Maastricht Foundation, a community of innovative and creative companies. We benefit from the exchange of expertise and experience in IT, data, marketing, design and entrepreneurship.
