The Geospatial Knowledge Infrastructure (GKI) Readiness Index represents a critical instrument for assessing a nation's maturity in developing, managing, and utilizing geospatial knowledge for policy formulation, economic development, and national resilience. It evaluates 75 countries across five foundational pillars to determine how effectively geospatial data, infrastructure, and institutional frameworks are integrated into national development agendas. The index highlights global disparities and best practices in geospatial readiness, offering a data-driven lens on how geospatial knowledge supports decision-making, innovation, public service delivery, and economic resilience.
It serves as a strategic tool for policymakers, private sector leaders, and development institutions to benchmark progress of geospatial, space, and hydrographic infrastructure, identify institutional capability and industry capacity gaps, and foster collaboration in building geospatially enabled societies.
This report presents the GKI Readiness Index and its value impact, showcasing GKI's value for the geospatial user industry. It offers a comparative assessment of 50 countries across six key pillars, providing a comprehensive, country-specific outlook to help industry and government stakeholders identify opportunities for national growth and innovation.
The GeoBuiz 2019 report presents a comprehensive assessment of the global geospatial ecosystem, covering the geospatial industry landscape, the growing location analytics and business intelligence market, and the expanding role of geospatial technology in the AEC sector. It includes the Countries Geospatial Readiness Index (CGRI) 2019, evaluating the preparedness of 75 countries across five key pillars to support informed decision-making and foster regional and global competitiveness in the geospatial domain.
The GeoBuiz 2018 Report offers a comprehensive overview of the global geospatial industry, covering market trends, emerging business models, innovation developments, and key industry drivers. It also features the Countries Geospatial Readiness Index (CGRI) 2018, evaluating the preparedness of 50 countries to support decision-makers in building integrated geospatial ecosystems and improving geo-enabled services for citizens.
The Global Geospatial Industry Outlook 2017 is structured in two key parts: the first highlights major global trends, emerging technologies, and evolving business models shaping the geospatial industry. The second introduces the first-ever Global Geospatial Readiness Index, ranking over 50 countries based on their preparedness for geospatial growth, helping stakeholders assess national capabilities, understand innovation trends, and evaluate the essential drivers shaping the future of the geospatial industry.
