Introduction This survey of key GI players within Europe is one of the elements of the GINIE project. GINIE is an IST programme Accompanying Measure intended to develop a European Geographic Information (GI) Strategy based on the EUROGI Strategy. It is also concerned with GI capacity building and awareness-raising. Together with surveys and reports from other GINIE work packages this survey of key players will provide a unique and important reference for the European GI community. The overall project conclusions will be presented at a final conference in Brussels on 13 th and 14 th Nov 2003. This survey of key players intends to identify and describe an important component of the developing European GI infrastructure – the organisations providing the products and services that represent the supply side of the market place. As well as identifying individual organisations it attempts to provide some analysis of both the breadth and depth of the market. Its findings, in conjunction with other GINIE inputs and information from other sources (i.e. INSPIRE), will contribute towards the development of a European GI strategy and policy that can support: • The development of the European Information Age and Knowledge economy; • eGovernment; • Transparent government at all levels within Europe; • Harmonised citizen oriented services for the citizens of Europe; • The development and implementation of a sustainable European spatial data infrastructure; • Sustainable democracy within Europe; • Sustainable policy formulation and implementation within Europe. And as a result can maximise the effective use of GI for European government, commerce and the citizen. Purpose of the survey The effective implementation of a European GI Strategy will be influenced by a number of factors, including the roles played by the key GI players which already exist in each country, and across Europe. The purpose of this GINIE report is to: • Gather information through a survey of the key market players in GI throughout Europe in order to gain an improved understanding of the geographic information capacity within each country; • Rank the key players, in terms of GI market impact, both at a national level and at a pan European level; • Estimate the influence the key players have on the GI market across Europe. The report was undertaken between 01/06/03 and 31/08/03 as a desk study using facilities such as the internet, email, telephone, source books and trade catalogues, results of market surveys, GI magazines (both paper and electronic) and other materials that may be available on the World Wide Web. The role of national GI associations has been crucial to the success of this survey as they are in a unique position to understand the complexities of their own national GI market. Scope of the survey National GI associations from the following countries were invited to participate in the survey: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and the UK. From the beginning of the survey it was intended to add other European countries if the information could be located and was available. After inviting contributions from their National GI associations or contact points, it was possible to add information about the markets and key players in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, Lithuania, Malta, Romania, Slovak Republik, and Turkey. The survey aimed to identify at least five, and if possible more, organisations per country that could be classified as “key players”. Survey of key GI players within Europe Page 3
