Innovation - With Addresses?


Pinpointing places by conventional addressing requires navigating a variety of systems. Into that space steps what3words, a new global addressing standard used by thousands of organizations worldwide to help improve efficiency and internal operations with better addresses.


Our speaker is Khongorzul (Khongoroo) Otgonbayar, the Partnerships Lead at what3words, a global addressing system designed to simplify the communication of precise locations with just three simple words. Originally born in Mongolia, Khongorzul earned her degree in International Relations and Peace Studies from the Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University in Japan, and soon after, joined what3words to expand the company's footprint across various sectors globally while managing a team of 12 at the Mongolia office of what3words.

In 2022, Khongoroo relocated to London to join the what3words team at its headquarters, and drawing on extensive experience in establishing partnerships in different parts of the world, she now works with humanitarian organizations, government authorities, emergency services, and small and medium-sized businesses as part of her work with what3words.
