Have your say in our geospatial industry survey

How are you navigating the shift from data acquisition to insight, integration and strategic value? Take part in the GIM International Industry Survey 2026 to help us capture the perspectives of professionals who are truly experiencing the changes in this era of rapid evolution in the geospatial sector. Your feedback helps to ensure that real-world expertise – not assumptions – shapes the wider industry conversation. Add your voice, share your outlook, and help define how the next chapter of geospatial should look.

The questions cover a broad range of core topics in the geospatial sector. Respondents are invited to reflect on how the role of the geospatial professional has evolved in business and society, and what has shaped that evolution most. They are also asked to what extent the focus of their work has shifted from data acquisition to analysis, integration and decision support – and where that trend is heading. The survey further explores the strategic value that clients and decision-makers currently place on geospatial expertise, how respondents would like the profession to be regarded in the future, and what still needs to change. Finally, industry professionals are asked to share what gives them most confidence in the future of the sector – and what concerns them most.

By taking part, you will contribute to building a more visible and engaged geospatial community and help us at GIM International tailor our reporting, features and analysis more closely to what truly matters in your daily practice. The findings will be published on gim-international.com and will also be featured in the upcoming Business Guide edition, ensuring that your insights help guide both industry dialogue and editorial focus in the year ahead.
