Geospatial World Excellence Awards
With an authentic history from 2007, Geospatial World Awards are an internationally acclaimed and premium awards recognizing model practices in the global geospatial industry. With the ceremony taking place at Geospatial World Forum every year, the awards have recognized over 220+ organizations till date.
Under the Excellence Awards, we have three main categories that are given to Organizations
Application Excellence Awards
These awards commemorate exemplary usage and application of geospatial tools and solutions in various industries.
Note: Application Excellence Awards is strictly conferred to project owner/user not the contractors or technology developers/providers.
Technology Innovations Awards
Disruptive innovation that drives wider adoption of geospatial technology in the mainstream.
Note: Opens to product offerings by technology companies with innovative integration of AI, ML, IoT, Cloud, PNT, Digital Twins, Metaverse, etc. If you’re nominating an application, please choose the Application Excellence category. Nominations in the wrong category will be considered as invalid.
Policy Implementation Awards
Empowering the organisations or agencies that are enabling the implementations of public policies directly impacting the development of geospatial science, technology and businesses or even state/national policies that have a major geospatial technology use in the public policy implementation.
Note: The nominated policy must be in effect and implemented, not a policy paper.Ready for the Spotlight?
A guest pass is given to the winners for the conference, and you may have a presentation slot to share your story.
