MappedIn CEO Hongwei Liu joins us on the next episode of #TrueNorthTV to talk about how the company is working to make indoor spaces safer during COVID-19 and how they continue to make privacy a priority. This episode is brought to you by @TD_Canada.

More about Hongwei: Hongwei Liu is the CEO of Mappedin, a Waterloo based indoor mapping company that helps to digitize and maintain a source of truth for over 500 million square feet of indoor space. He has led the company’s growth from the founding team to the 65-person operation based out of their Waterloo office. He was born in China, grew up in Ottawa, and came to Waterloo to study Electrical Engineering. #TrueNorthTV #TechForGood
