Smart Data Hub Information

Smart Data Hub builds Geo Data Connector — a discovery and ETL tool for geospatial data. Geospatial data shouldn't be locked behind complex APIs, obscure formats, and specialized knowledge. High-quality geospatial information is available from hundreds of authoritative sources worldwide, yet it remains underutilized across industries due to technical and structural barriers. Our mission: Make geospatial data truly accessible to all data professionals, not just GIS experts. Geo Data Connector removes the friction from discovering, accessing, and ingesting geospatial data — directly into your own cloud data platform. Search across hundreds of sources, explore datasets, and set up ingestion pipelines that land analysis-ready data in your own tables. The Connector handles vector data, raster imagery, and catalog services across traditional OGC and modern OGC API standards. Available as Snowflake Native Apps on the Snowflake Marketplace (paid and free editions), as a hosted service with a public API at gdc.smartdatahub.io, and as an MCP server for AI agents and coding assistants.
