Call for evidence description

The UK’s Geospatial Strategy, published in 2020 for a five year period, included a commitment for a midpoint refresh.

The Geospatial Commission is launching this Call for Evidence to consult as widely as possible to understand how location data is and can be used across the economy, including the evolving technological landscape.The Call for Evidence questions are split across three main sections:

  • Changing context and trends
  • Unlocking innovation across the geospatial value chain
  • Adoption of geospatial data and services across the economy

Each section is accompanied by specific consultation questions and we welcome responses on all questions. Responses will inform the strategy refresh and renewed delivery priorities.
