Geographic information is an essential decision-making tool at the heart of national security and defense issues. It enables states to have reliable, precise, and up-to-date data for informed decision-making. However, to be fully usable, this information must be qualified and structured, which requires high-level expertise.

Given the increasing security risk, governments need to modernize their geographic infrastructures and train their personnel in the production and utilization of reference geographic data. As a leading entity in setting up international geomatics projects, IGN FI supports states and international organizations in the production, analysis, and enhancement of geospatial data for intelligence, planning, and strategic decision-making purposes.
