Geospatial WorldProfile date: 2025-10-14 Geospatial World
Geospatial World is a global media, research, and consulting organization dedicated to the geospatial industry and its associated ecosystems. While the organization has significant roots and operations in India, it is a global entity that serves as a premier knowledge and connectivity hub for the entire geospatial community. Its core mission is to advocate for the value of geospatial technology, promote its adoption across various sectors of the economy and society, and facilitate dialogue among stakeholders from industry, government, academia, and end-user communities.
The company does not create geospatial hardware (like satellites or sensors) or software (like GIS platforms). Instead, its primary business is to create and disseminate market intelligence, foster networking, and provide strategic advisory services. It plays the crucial role of an industry enabler, analyst, and storyteller, helping to shape the narrative and direction of the rapidly evolving geospatial and 4th Industrial Revolution technology landscape.
