Introducing Nearmap Labs: A window into the future of property intelligence Aug 2026 Aug 2026 Public innovation hub provides early access to emerging Nearmap technologies, proprietary research, and technical breakthroughs shaping what’s next for the industry. SALT LAKE CITY — August 17, 2026 — Nearmap, the leading global property intelligence company, today announced the launch of Nearmap Labs , a new public innovation hub giving customers, partners, developers, and industry leaders an early look at the technologies and research Nearmap is exploring to advance property intelligence. Nearmap Labs opens the door to innovation happening beyond the current product roadmap, featuring experimental technologies, proprietary research, technical demonstrations, and opportunities for customers to participate in early access programs and provide feedback. The platform will evolve continuously as new explorations, research, and breakthroughs emerge. As organizations increasingly rely on property intelligence to support decisions across insurance, government, architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO), and commercial real estate, Nearmap Labs creates a dedicated destination to explore how advances in artificial intelligence, computer vision, and geospatial analytics are transforming how properties are understood and managed. “Innovation doesn’t begin the day a product launches; it starts years earlier through research, experimentation, and solving difficult technical problems,” said Andy Watt, Chief Executive Officer at Nearmap. “Nearmap Labs gives customers and the broader market visibility into the work happening behind the scenes, while creating opportunities to engage with emerging technologies that will help shape the future of property intelligence.” Nearmap Labs launches with a growing collection of technology explorations, proprietary research, and technical demonstrations. Initial releases include advancements in AI-powered underwriting, computer vision, temporal reasoning, property analytics, and original research derived from the expansive Nearmap geospatial data and property intelligence platform. “Our customers don’t simply want to know what Nearmap offers today—they want confidence we’re investing in what they’ll need tomorrow,” David Tobias, Chief Product Officer at Nearmap said. “Nearmap Labs reflects our long-term commitment to advancing property intelligence through meaningful innovation grounded in real-world customer challenges.” Beyond technology exploration, Nearmap Labs serves as a foundation for future thought leadership, providing a public forum for proprietary research, technical publications, interactive demonstrations, and data-driven insights that help organizations better understand the built environment. By giving the market greater visibility into the ideas and technologies being developed today, Nearmap Labs reinforces the company’s long-term commitment to advancing property intelligence.
