Celebrating the power of Geospatial Intelligence to understand our planet, protect communities, and drive sustainable progress.

On this GIS Day, 19 November, we gather to celebrate the power of geographic information systems (GIS) — and the role of geospatial technologies in shaping a better world. GIS Day was first celebrated in 1999, as initiated by Esri. At GEOTERRAIMAGE (GTI), we firmly believe that as global challenges intensify — from climate change and water scarcity, to rapid urban growth, food-security threats and ecosystem decline — the ability to see, understand, predict and act is more critical than ever.

Our mission at GTI is simple yet profound: To transform satellite-based remotely-sensed data into actionable spatial insight; To empower decision-makers; To enable smarter, scalable solutions across Africa and beyond.

The Global Challenges — and how GTI’s products, platforms, and services play a role

Climate Change & Extreme Weather

The climate is changing, weather systems are shifting, and vulnerable communities often bear the worst of it. At GTI, we harness satellite imagery, data analytics, AI, and our proprietary algorithms to:

• Monitor changes in landscape characteristics
• Monitor and model risk patterns (floods, droughts, fires) and support early-warning decision systems
• Integrate advanced weather data with the built environment, agriculture, and environmental-related actionable spatial information
• Provide business intelligence to governments, NGOs, and private sector clients so that they can be empowered to make informed decisions

Our experience in Africa and other regions, backed by scalable spatial models, means we can assist across large regions and down to suburb/admin‐area (Urban/ erf) level.   

Water Scarcity & Resource Management

Water is one of our most critical resources — and yet many regions now face acute stress. Through geospatial monitoring and analytics, GTI helps clients:

• Map basins, groundwater levels, river networks, and surface water change over time
• Detect illegal extractions, pollution events, or infrastructure vulnerabilities
• Optimise irrigation, monitor agricultural water use, and support sustainable service-delivery planning

This kind of spatial insight supports both public sector water-resource management and private sector decisions in agriculture, infrastructure and utilities.

Food Security, Agriculture & Land-Use Change

Feeding a growing population sustainably means we need new tools and smarter data. GTI’s suite of agriculture geospatial products helps:

• Monitor crop health, vegetation dynamics, and soil moisture via satellite and GIS analytics
• Track land-use change (deforestation, conversion to agriculture, mining) to assess risk and opportunity
• Provide farming-sector dashboards and business-intelligence services for agribusinesses and governments

GTI’s scalable, comprehensive suite of agricultural products contributes from field-to-district level of crop performance, health and crop type classification with graphical and statistical insights.

Urbanisation, Infrastructure & Demographics

With more of the world’s population moving into cities, spatial intelligence is vital. GTI supports clients with:

• Urban expansion monitoring, land-use and zoning change detection
• Indexing of living standards and socio-economic classification
• Green energy mapping, such as solar panels and wind farms
• Demographic and population-density modelling, infrastructure-service planning, market-entry intelligence for businesses
• Telecommunications network planning, built-environment mapping and urban analytics — GTI has strong expertise in the telecoms industry, generating high-resolution clutter maps for network planning.

These capabilities enable more effective, equitable urban planning and business-expansion decisions in emerging markets.

Environmental Protection & Biodiversity

Our planet’s ecosystems are under pressure, and geospatial data offers a way to monitor, protect, and restore. GTI provides:

• Land-cover/land-use change detection to identify deforestation, mining, or rangeland degradation – Landscape intelligence
• Biomass inventories and vegetation monitoring to support carbon-footprint, climate-mitigation, and nature-based-solutions programs
• Spatial analytics for conservation efforts, protected-area management, and ecosystem-assessment

From Data to Decisions: GEOTERRAIMAGE’s Value Proposition

At GEOTERRAIMAGE we don’t just deliver maps and images — we deliver spatial intelligence. According to our value proposition: “specialist software, proprietary algorithms and geo-application experience transform remotely-sensed data into actionable spatial information to provide unprecedented insight on nearly all human activities.”

Our solutions combine:

• High-quality geospatial datasets (derived from high-quality temporal satellite imagery)
• Advanced analytics (change detection, predictive modelling, vegetation biomass, urban analytics, precision farming)
• Scalable deliverables (from national scale down to field level)
• Industry-specific intelligence tailored for agriculture, telecoms, environment, mining, urban & infrastructure, insurance, retail, and financial services

By integrating spatial data with business-intelligence frameworks, we help our clients move from insight to action: planning better, responding faster, allocating resources smarter.

🌍 GIS Day 2025 — A Call to Action with GTI

This GIS Day, we invite you — decision-makers, researchers, business leaders, environmental stewards, infrastructure planners — to partner with GEOTERRAIMAGE and harness the full power of geospatial intelligence. Together we can:

• Map vulnerabilities and design resilient communities
• Monitor our planet in near-real-time and forecast change
• Uncover hidden patterns, optimise investments, support sustainable outcomes
• Democratise data, enable informed decisions, and deliver impact

Because the future isn’t something we wait for — it’s something we map and build.

At GEOTERRAIMAGE, we’re proud to be part of the geospatial community driving change across Africa and globally. On this GIS Day, let’s use our spatial intelligence not just to observe the Earth — but to guide, protect, restore, and reimagine it.
