The biggest challenge in policymaking is to make people realize that every time a policy is developed or implemented, there is going to be an element of ‘geo’ in it.
Innovations in geospatial data analytics will be the industry driver contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
No longer is it enough to simply provide data in a raw or processed state. It is incumbent to help customers easily understand the significance of the data they are seeing/buying.
The advent of analytics and the democratization of machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms are supercharging the Earth Observation datasets and extracting incredible insights.
As dynamic as the New Space industry is, the community is limited by the methods of access, standardization and practical applications in daily life.
We are at an exciting point where the industry is being defined and written, which makes it even more enticing for venture capitalists to participate in and for more companies to enter the space.
We are seeing rapid adoption of the Z-axis. The industry as a whole needs to think about the end user experience, because customers don’t just exist in X and Y.
It’s good to see policymakers understand
the urgency, importance and value of commercial Space innovation…
The integration of Space and spatial sectors will propel digital transformation.

If you digitally transform the way construction projects are delivered, you should always end up with a derivative Digital Twin, which optimizes the way you operate and maintain a capital asset.
We collect, validate, register and maintain data, make it accessible and use it to build products and services for society.
In the last few years, we have witnessed the launch of lots of small satellites with different sensors. This has led to data proliferation, which in turn has presented the opportunity for extracting more value from Space.
When we examine trends in innovation, geospatial technology that leverages artificial intelligence, autonomous robots and augmented reality catches most of our collective attention. But widen the lens to the impact of the work we do, and the heart of the ‘why’ becomes vivid — people.
Artificial intelligence is not a technology that you can buy in a box and just deploy, as it is inherently stupid. Where AI plays a role is in automation, where humans take decisions based on data input.
The geospatial nervous system is akin to the internet itself, and is the only way to truly understand the challenges we are up against and to get our best minds and sciences working in tandem on solutions.
High-quality geospatial data and technologies provide a foundational capability that underpins a range of other thematic and sector-specific strategies.
The interplay of a gamut of technol-ogies and real-time positioning will rapidly transform sectors ranging from navigation and construction to AgTech.
Virtualized ground networks such as the AWS Ground Station help customers uplink their Space data directly into the Cloud faster, and then process and transport that data around the world with low latency and a high level of security.
GNSS signal falsification can have disastrous impact on applications and markets that rely on precise position, navigation, and timing.
Rapid innovation around technologies has had a great impact on everyone, and national mapping agencies are no exception.
