The Association for Geographic Information Foresight Report gives insight into the issues we believe will have a significant impact on our economy, environment and society. The purpose of the Report is to both observe and challenge the current role of Geographic Information (GI) in relation to these issues
The Foresight Project will Take Big, Cross-Cutting Issues, Summarise the Evidence, and Explore Future Possibilities. The Association for Geographic Information (AGI) are seeking contributions and inputs from all parts of the geospatial community.
2025 will see the return of the Association for Geographic Information (AGI) Foresight Project.
Last undertaken in 2015, to give insight into issues that would have significant impact on the economy, the environment, and society in the five years to 2020, this project built on previous work undertaken in 2010 looking forward to 2015.
The AGI Foresight 2030 Project will consider the biggest trends and themes impacting the geographic information sector over the next 5 years. The views and experiences of a wide range of stakeholders will be collated and analysed, culminating in an independent summary of the most significant future influences on the industry, wider society, and the physical, economic and political environments.
A project report will be published, and formally launched, at a dedicated event at the Royal Geographic Society (with IBG) in London on the 13th November 2025.
Any direct queries can be addressed to info@agi.org.uk.
The Report highlights five key themes that are of relevance, not only to the GI industry, but to anyone with a vested interest in how technology and information will change our world and businesses in the next five years.
These five themes – Open, Big Data, BIM and Future Cities, Innovative Technologies and Policy – form the backbone of our Report, bringing together papers from experts across industries and disciplines.
They show that the GI community can, and must, play a big part in helping us to understand and maximise benefits from these areas, and meet head on the challenges and opportunities the next five years will bring.
