It has over 50 geospatial companies as member organizations from over 20 countries. WGIC's goal is to serve as a collaborative platform that promotes the advancement of the geospatial industry and enhances its impact on the global economy and society. The mission of WGIC is to facilitate knowledge exchange within and between industries and create greater business opportunities for the geospatial industry. This will be achieved through policy advocacy, business development, and collaborative programs. As part of the WGIC Industry-Academia Committee, we are contacting you to request your input on a survey aimed at gathering insights on industry engagement and student career pathways within the geospatial sector from academic institutions. The survey aims to identify the talent gap between academia and the geospatial industry by fostering collaboration and aligning educational goals with industry requirements. Your feedback will be instrumental as we prepare to gather comprehensive feedback from the academic community.
