The World Geospatial Industry Council is a registered not-for-profit trade association of commercial geospatial companies representing the entire value-chain of the geospatial ecosystem.
Keeping pace with numerous policy initiatives and providing a collective perspective to policymakers are some of the primary challenges. WGIC’s Policy Development & Advocacy committee is addressing those needs in the geospatial industry.
Collaborating with industries of relevance to the global economy and society, and enhancing the contributions of geospatial technology is identified as a critical need. WGIC is working towards developing collaborative partnerships and enabling geospatial knowledge exchange.
To meet the ever-increasing demand for geospatial infrastructure and services, governments need to find new models of collaboration with the commercial players. WGIC is working towards defining the scope for Public-Private partnerships, possible business models, and related legislative issues.
In the digital age, the demand for geospatial professionals is growing. At the same time, there is a widening gap between educational programs and industry requirements. WGIC is working to strengthen collaboration between the geospatial industry and academic institutions towards creating contemporary educational programs.
