CLIENT SPOTLIGHT
Strengthening a nation’s economy
The Saudi Government has embarked on a mission to reduce Saudi Arabia’s dependence on oil, diversify its economy, and develop key industries. Its plan known as ‘Vision 2030’ involves the expansion of digital services to include geographic information systems (GIS) in support of key services such as health, education, infrastructure and tourism. To assist in building the nation’s GIS capability and service delivery, Spatial Vision developed and implemented a country-level action plan and five-year roadmap in collaboration with partners FrontierSI. We consulted over 200 executives to understand the ‘current state’ environment, challenges, opportunities and ‘desired future state’. The resulting plan—the Survey and Geospatial Information Sector Strategy (SGISS)—provided a series of recommendations to support the nation’s growing digital infrastructure needs. The project enabled the Kingdom to measure the economic benefit of geospatial information, increase its workforce capability, engage new markets and attract further investment from both local and foreign interests.

“Well we couldn’t have done it on our own, that’s for sure. Obviously, their technical expertise in terms of the skills and the tools and that sort of thing, but also relatively simple sort of training so once we have the map we can update it ourselves now so I suppose they did the technical back up but also giving us the in house skills manage it.”
