description: "Félix Laroche is the CEO and founder of Jakarto, a Quebec-based company specializing in the management and exploitation of LiDAR data through its advanced platform. A visionary in geomatics and artificial intelligence, he began his career in 2001 by developing map servers similar to Google Maps, georeferencing over 2.8 million properties in Quebec, and designing geospatial solutions, including an AI-based real estate value estimator for the financial sector. With the founding of Jakarto in 2016, he brought his vision to life: transforming infrastructure and asset management through engineering-grade digital twins. Under his leadership, Jakarto has revolutionized the collection, visualization, and use of geospatial data, automating urban asset inventories and developing Jakartowns, an interactive web platform that enables cities and businesses to analyze, measure, and optimize their territories. Driven by an innovation-focused approach, Félix continues to push the boundaries of mobile mapping and geospatial information management, helping to drive the digital transformation of urban and infrastructure management."
