a scientific think-tank committed to open science Creating Positive Global Change

Creating
Positive Global change

Spatial Informatics Group - SIG

Spatial Informatics Group (SIG) is a scientific think tank and boundary organization.
We convert geospatial data into impactful products and services, empowering decision-makers to effect positive change on a global scale. Supported by our four pillars—international talent, strategic partnerships, vertical integration, and commitment to open science—our organizational structure promotes agile collaboration among research scientists in specialized working groups.

With over 25 years in the environmental sector, we identify and address gaps in these groups through partnerships with leading institutions. Unlike traditional think-tanks, we engage upstream with universities for cutting-edge research and move downstream to produce and share products globally, often at no cost, reinforcing our dedication to knowledge dissemination and positive global impact.
