About the UK Location Programme
The UK Location Programme, led by Defra, has been established to implement both the UK Government's Location Strategy, and the EU INSPIRE Directive.
The Programme's objective is to deliver a significant change in the management of geographic or spatial data - one that introduces a new, innovative, and joined up service for government, business and citizens - not only from within the UK but also across the European Union.
AGI has a seat on the UK Location Council as well as representation on its subsidiary bodies.
