The the findings of the Canadian Geomatics Environmental Scan and Value Study are now available for download.
- The Canadian Geomatics Environmental Scan Findings Report is an independent assessment of the sector, the key players and its operating context;
- The Value Study Findings Report is a detailed analysis of the economic and non-economic benefits associated with the use of geospatial technologies and services. It defines for the first time, the overall economic gains to the Canadian economy associated with the use of geospatial information.
Together, these reports represent the most comprehensive assessment of geomatics and geospatial information in Canada to date. The reports provide: a profile of the geomatics sector in Canada; domestic and global trends (market, technology, social, economic, open data) involving geospatial information and Canada’s position relative to those trends; and, the significance and value of the geomatics sector and geospatial information to Canadian society and the economy.
