The foundation of today’s geospatial intelligence efforts comes down to accessing and sharing mapping, imagery and spatial data to enhance decision-making. Whether it’s for military, agriculture, city planning, environmental planning, or disaster management, the use of geospatial solutions is nearly limitless.
As a result, there are a number of companies that play a critical role in providing the software, hardware, satellites, drones, and data management systems that turn spatial information into actionable intelligence.
As such, Voices.Earth has compiled this informal list of the top 10 geospatial brands in the world. Our caveat is that this subjective list was compiled based on overall brand awareness, not revenue or number of employees.
