In an increasingly interconnected global economy, nations are strategically leveraging the Geospatial Knowledge Infrastructure (GKI) to unlock competitive advantage, accelerate innovation, and strengthen economic resilience. The GKI provides a comprehensive blueprint to integrate digital economies, cities, and citizens with geospatial approaches, data, and technologies. It aims to deliver location-based knowledge, services, and automation expected in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). The 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.
