Just over two years ago, I embarked on a new mission to work with partners to accelerate growth of a nascent industry in Scotland which would not only underpin public services, but had the potential to help protect our environment and deliver economic growth through the creation of new products and services using the power of location data.
It was obvious that location data was pivotal in many organisations both to create innovation and instigate change.
Location Data Scotland was born, and in partnership with Scottish Enterprise, the Scottish Government and the UK Government Geospatial Commission, I set about helping to build a cluster of organisations active in producing and using geospatial data in Scotland; all linked to location.
