The Geospatial Leadership Certificate

The Geospatial Sector is Growing

The Geospatial Commission valued the UK market in 2024 as £6 billion annually, employing over 37,500 people and attracting £1.2 billion in investment since 2013.

The Challenge

The geospatial industry is creating many new and exciting solutions to address today’s global problems, such as climate change.

Competition for resources and funding is fierce, yet leadership skills within the industry are insufficient to meet the demand.

Bridging the Skills Gap

The geospatial industry is poorly served with the leadership skills needed to define, promote and develop new solutions.

There is a well-recognised gap in the availability of soft skills training which would enable middle managers, in both the developed world and the global south, to play leadership roles in promoting new solutions.

This Global Leadership Certificate Course is designed to bridge this gap.
