Geospatial Commission: How to enhance the UK’s geospatial ecosystem

On Tuesday 24 November 2020 the Geospatial Commission will publish “Enhancing the UK’s Geospatial Ecosystem” a report which sets out three key areas for action that are needed to enhance the UK’s location data market.

The launch will also include publication of an independent report by Frontier Economics, the ‘Geospatial Data Market Study’, which explored the dynamics of the UK’s location data market and gathered the evidence that underpins the Geospatial Commission’s recommended areas for action.

Speakers include:

Sir Andrew Dilnot, Chair of the Geospatial Commission

Thalia Baldwin, Director of the Geospatial Commission

Sarah Snelson, Director at Frontier Economics

Noud Hooyman, Head of Policy at Ministry of the Interior, Government of the Netherlands

techUK's Technology and Innovation Programme are currently running our new geospatial data campaign, Mapping the UK’s Geospatial Future. Through a dedicated programme of events, roundtables, insights and podcasts this campaign will explore the opportunities and potential benefits from greater use of geospatial data across different industries and sectors, potential barriers that may stand in our way and consider how to address these as well as drive forward a world leading geospatial market in the UK. We are working alongside the UK's Geospatial Commission, techUK members and other external stakeholders to bring together the UK's geospatial market in one dedicated programme intent on sharing information and knowledge.
