Fife College's Geospatial Foundation Skills course plays a key role in reducing the skills shortage in Scotland's geospatial sector

Business Minister Richard Lochhead MSP visited Fife College recently to learn how the College has delivered the UK’s first geospatial qualification in a College.

The new Geospatial Foundation Skills course, which started in February 2025, provides an 18-week introduction to GIS and Earth Observation, emphasising core skills and with each student undertaking a practical project with industry. The course came into being as a collaboration between the College, the Association for Geographic Information (AGI) in Scotland, Location Data Scotland (LDS) and the University of Edinburgh with support from the Scottish Government’s Geographic Information Science and Analysis Team. Research undertaken by Location Data Scotland and AGI Scotland identified a skills shortage, particularly in relation to technician-level roles and this course was developed as a response, ensuring Scotland continues to be a prime destination for geospatial business.

The Minister was welcomed to the College’s new Dunfermline City Campus which will open later in the year; the future home of innovative programmes such as the Geospatial Foundation Programme. The course will be credit rated this month as a recognised qualification on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework at SCQF level 6.

In a recent LinkedIn post, Business Minister Richard Lochhead said:

“Our brilliant colleges are embracing Scotland’s innovation mission, and they must be at the heart of our ambition to become a leading innovation nation. The sector’s growing focus on innovation is illustrated by the vision behind the spectacular new Fife College campus that will soon open and that I had the privilege of visiting. There will be an innovation space in the new college but learners are already benefiting.

I was inspired to learn about the Geospatial Foundation Skills Course as part of the geospatial roadmap and the work withLocation Data Scotland with funding from UK Space Agency also involving Bayes Centre. The college’s programme is the first of its kind and so important for the skills pipeline for 21st century Scotland!”

Bruce Gittings, Chair of AGI Scotland and Senior Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, said:

“This is a remarkable collaboration which will bring new talent into the geospatial workforce in Scotland, supporting existing organisations, allowing new businesses to develop and promoting inward investment.

The Scottish Government created Location Data Scotland to grow our geospatial sector, and this has been part of a significant work-package that will underpin future success.

This course is entirely complementary to what is offered at university-level and therefore brings greater diversity into our industry and the opportunity for progression. We have seen that it can attract school-leavers to this new course, as well as those with interesting backgrounds and experiences coming back into employment or seeking a career-change.

We are already exploring how AGI and LDS can develop their collaboration with Fife in the future.”

Jim Metcalfe, Principal of Fife College, said:

“We were delighted to welcome the Business Minister to our new Dunfermline City Campus and share the exciting work underway across a range of future-focused subject areas. Our programmes in fields such as geospatial technology are designed to meet the skills needs of Scotland’s economy – both now and in the future.

At Fife College, we are committed to being an accelerator for jobs and opportunity, aligning skills with economic demand, and this new campus is at the heart of that mission.”

Unlocking Innovation, Skills, and Sustainability for Scotland’s geospatial sector

March 2024

Exploring the opportunities and outlook for Scotland’s geospatial sector through the lens of Location Data Scotland

As the Location Data Scotland programme enters its fifth year, Scotland is poised to harness a wave of geospatial innovation powered by AI, remote sensing, and a growing talent pipeline. From public sector data initiatives to academic-industry partnerships, the nation is aligning its assets to address pressing challenges like climate change, skills shortages, and energy transition. Featuring insights from key figures across government, academia, and industry, this article explores the opportunities and outlook for Scotland’s geospatial sector in the year ahead. With flagship events like State of the Map in Dundee and pioneering programmes like Fife College’s Geospatial Foundation Skills course, 2025 is poised to be a landmark year for positioning Scotland as a global leader in spatial data and climate-driven innovation.

Alan Corbett, Head of Geospatial at Scottish Government:

“The Scottish Government has made strategic investments in high-resolution remote sensing datasets, including nationwide LiDAR and Planet satellite imagery. These datasets are now being made available to public and private sector organisations across key industries such as renewable energy, infrastructure planning, precision agriculture, and housing development. Our goal is to unlock their full potential by enabling advanced machine learning and AI-driven analytics that can support smarter, faster, and more data-informed decision making across Scotland.”

Damien Griffith, Community Risk Manager, Scottish Fire & Rescue Service:

“We’re facing a persistent skills shortage in geospatial disciplines, particularly in roles requiring deep technical expertise. However, the growing use of AI in geospatial processes, such as automating hazard mapping, routing analysis, and spatial risk modelling, has the potential to ease the burden on under-resourced teams. This shift will allow us to deliver life-saving projects more efficiently, while reserving expert time for critical decision-making.”

Ashley Stewart, Director at Optimat, and Delivery Lead for Location Data Scotland:

“The Geospatial Foundation Skills Programme, delivered in partnership with Fife College, represents a transformative step for the sector. It’s not just about teaching GIS software or how to capture spatial data, it’s about cultivating a new generation of thinkers who understand spatial relationships and can apply that thinking across industries. Graduates come away with hands-on skills in tools like ArcGIS and remote sensing platforms, but more importantly, they bring real-world readiness and a drive to contribute immediately to Scotland’s geospatial ecosystem. This approach directly addresses the talent pipeline challenge we’re seeing across the sector.”

Rob Dunfey, Geomatics Manager at Shell:

“Geospatial data is now central to how we approach energy transition challenges in the North Sea. We’re using location intelligence to balance and coordinate the siting of carbon storage facilities, hydrogen projects, offshore wind farms, and existing oil and gas operations. Thanks to the North Sea Transition Authority’s (NSTA) release of over a petabyte of open-access geoscience and engineering data, much of it spatially enabled, we have the information infrastructure needed to make evidence-based decisions at scale. Initiatives like State of the Map in Dundee this November and the new Space Hub at the Bayes Centre are evidence that Scotland is becoming a nucleus for global geospatial collaboration.”

Zoë Russell, Founder and Director, Rethink Carbon:

“Over the next year, we’ll see geospatial data play a bigger role in tackling climate and nature challenges. Advances in satellite imagery, remote sensing, and AI modelling are making it easier to monitor land use change in near real time. These tools are essential for developing robust carbon markets and measuring nature restoration outcomes with precision.

Scotland’s mix of academic expertise, public investment and a growing nature tech sector gives us a unique opportunity to be a global leader on this front. But to succeed we need to invest in data interoperability, strengthen partnerships between industry and academia, and enable open access to high quality spatial data.”

Bruce Gittings, Senior Lecturer, University of Edinburgh & Chair, AGI Scotland:

“The availability of new types of remote sensing data, whether from satellite constellations or aerial platforms, is opening up powerful new applications across sectors. However, I’m concerned about the UK’s long-term access to global datasets, particularly those maintained by US agencies. Scotland has the potential to become a globally recognised hub for spatial data infrastructure and research, but to get there, we need to ensure continued investment in national data assets and policies that secure access to international data streams.”

As Scotland looks to the future, the convergence of technological innovation, data accessibility, and a renewed focus on skills development creates a powerful foundation for growth in the geospatial sector. The collective ambition of government, academia, and industry stakeholders is clear; to not only harness the benefits of spatial data for domestic priorities but to position Scotland as a globally recognised leader in geospatial excellence. With continued investment, open collaboration, and a bold vision for climate and digital transformation, Scotland is not just adapting to a geospatial future, it is actively shaping it.

To harness the full potential of location data, we must work together to foster innovation, develop talent, and drive economic growth.

Unlocking the Value of Public Sector Data

The UK and Scottish Governments are committed to making public sector data more accessible (where licensing permits) , thus fostering innovation, and stimulating economic growth. Initiatives like CivTech® demonstrate the power of collaboration between the public, private, and third sectors. By sharing data and working together, we can develop innovative solutions to real-world problems.

Building a Thriving Geospatial Ecosystem

Location Data Scotland (LDS) is at the forefront of driving innovation and growth in Scotland’s geospatial sector. By fostering a thriving ecosystem of businesses, organisations, and individuals, LDS is helping to raise awareness of the benefits of location data, sustainability and investment with the aim of achieving economic growth for Scotland. These companies are all included in the recently launched LDS Directory.

Collaborative Partnerships for Success

Collaborative procurement and project partnerships are essential for maximising the impact of location data. By sharing resources and expertise, we can reduce costs, improve efficiency, and accelerate innovation. There are already several collective agreements in place for spatial data, including the Public Sector Geospatial Agreement (PSGA) which public sector organisations can access Ordnance Survey (OS) location data and services, Royal Mail Public Sector Licence and Aerial Photography Great Britain (APGB). Significant savings are being generated through adopting a collaborative approach to procuring national datasets with an estimated 20% saving.

Addressing the Skills Gap

As the demand for geospatial expertise grows, it is imperative to develop a skilled workforce. The Scottish Government and industry partners are investing in training programs and initiatives to equip individuals with the skills needed to succeed in the geospatial sector. The Geospatial Foundation Skills Programme, which is being delivered by Fife College, is the first of these initiatives. It is a 6-week course starting in Feb 2025 to provide an introductory foundation to a geospatial role. Places on this course are still available. More information can be found on the Fife College website.

By embracing the power of location data, Scotland can position itself as a global leader in innovation, sustainability, and economic growth.

Business Insider interview with Ashley Stewart

March 2024

Location data is creating new jobs, new products and vital public services for Scotland

In an article published in Business Insider on 1 March 2024, Ashely Stewart shares her key highlights from LDS from the start of the pilot.
LDS has championed the application of geospatial data in several key traditional sectors over the last three years, including financial services, agriculture, space, construction, travel, tourism and energy, as well as emerging sectors in telecommunications.

Our goal was to show how geospatial technologies could drive innovation and create new products and services for a range of sectors. There have been some shining examples of this from the LDS community in Scotland.

Data and AI experts Eolas Insight are transforming how geospatial data is utilised in the environmental and ecological sectors to improve nature in light of the climate crisis. They are now working with the agricultural sector to combine the power of automation and analysing large scale data from space to help farmers, ecologists and land managers save time and money, while getting more vital groundwork done.

Edinburgh-based Topolytics, who use mapping and machine learning to generate data to track waste, is working with government teams to meet their recycling requirements and support the drive for a circular economy.

Location data is also instrumental in helping deliver new services throughout Scotland

Photo of vaccine by Mika Baumeister-- There have been giant leaps in how the emergency services sector in Scotland is using geospatial data to drive efficiencies and provide the public and business with access to key public services. Scotland has one of the most successful Covid vaccine rollout programmes and location data was at the core of how the health service delivered this highly efficient programme.

By sharing data from local authorities, the Public Sector Geospatial Agreement (PSGA), which is a contract between Ordnance Survey and the Geospatial Commission, is delivering business critical services such as roads and infrastructure, utilities, environmental services and healthcare through location datasets.

Geospatial is an exciting area and Scotland is playing a very important part in driving innovation, key services, and a robust talent pipeline. Scottish Government believe geospatial technologies and location data has the potential to save time, money and lives.

March Webinar Update

In our March webinar we heard from Simon Roberts, Data and Engagement Manager at the Improvement Service and Arun Gopinath, CEO of Vahanomy talking about their partnership formulated through an introduction by Location Data Scotland and where they saw ‘The Power of Location Data’.

The Improvement Service is owned by the 32 Scottish Local Authorities, COSLA and SOLACE and one of their focuses is to create a more consistent and comprehensive evidence base for decision making by enabling better access and usability of local government data.

The Spatial Hub is the Improvement Service’s flexible and scalable, online platform that provides standardised access to Scottish local authority data. A key objective of the platform is to stimulate innovation and improve productivity for organisations across Scotland. The platform addresses the challenges that organisations face around accessing public sector data.

Local government data custodians are invited to provide data sets to the Spatial Hub, which are then transformed and published into more harmonised national datasets which can be accessed by any authorised organisation or user. Organisations such as EDINA at the University of Edinburgh are sharing the Spatial Hub data via their DigiMap service with most academic and research institutions across the UK.

The Improvement Service has been working with Vahanomy Limited, an Edinburgh based start-up developing innovative artificial intelligence data driven B2B solutions to enable the accelerated rollout of electric vehicles (EV) charging infrastructure globally. Through an exploratory licence for the Spatial Hub, Vahanomy can access local authority data sets that have been critical to the development and testing of their innovative technology.

Arun said:

When we started out, we encountered lots of challenges accessing data around where electric charging points could be located including:

sourcing accurate, current, standardised, easy to handle and affordable data,

developing predictive models to use this data to pinpoint the electric charging points.

Through Location Data Scotland (LDS) we have been introduced to a number of key data suppliers like the Improvement Service, which has been important for us to access quality data. We also were able to connect with Ordnance Survey, Scottish Government, Registers of Scotland and the Geospatial Commission. As a start-up with limited resources, it is difficult to connect with the right contacts. Ashley at Location Data Scotland has a fantastic network of connections and she easily started opening doors for us to the right people across the location data domain.

The Spatial Hub has provided Vahanomy with access to 40 spatial datasets through their exploratory licence.

Simon Roberts commented:

The Spatial Hub could become a sort of ‘one-stop shop’ for Scotland’s local government and public sector spatial data if this was deemed necessary and we are working with other parts of Government such as health organisations and SEPA to evolve the data sets we currently support. Companies who are interested in accessing or supplying this data should get in touch with us via our website.

A list of available data sets from across the UK can be found here.

Available Data Sources

Public/Private Sector Disconnect

There is a massive question around how we bring together the public and private sectors to unlock the data being generated across the public sector? Lots of best practice is already being created in the private sector as organisations find solutions to similar data challenges. To address the issue and find solutions, first we need to understand the challenges. And bring together suppliers to share their insights and knowledge to try and solve the challenges.

Project Manager for Location Data Scotland Ashley Stewart said:

Our role in Location Data Scotland is to bring together an inclusive community of entrepreneurs, industry, third sector, academia, and public sector to collaborate, drive innovation, create opportunities and efficiencies and unlock the value in location data across multiple industries and sectors. We have a key role to play in helping address the public/private sector disconnect and our strong community of members could be the conduit to unearthing both public and private sector challenges and finding solutions.

The Power of Location Data

March 2023

Location Data is integral to the technological advancements of many industries.

Location technologies (both indoor and out) are spurring the evolution of rapid digital transformation and innovative new solutions across almost every part of daily life.

These systems rely on three main location data sources:

Geographic information systems (GIS) which use a variety of types of location-based data to build 3D visualizations and maps
Indoor positioning systems (IPS) that find and track people or things indoors using a range of different technologies
Internet of Things (IoT) devices (like beacons, sensors, etc.), which provide data to inform GIS and IPS systems

Location Data Scotland’s webinar, The Power of Location Data on Tuesday 30th March, will provide a case study of Scottish technology company Vahanomy Ltd discussing the importance of accessing rich data for their technology and the partnership they have formed with the Improvement Service to access datasets via their Spatial Hub.

Register below for this event to uncover a rich library of data sources and form partnerships with key data providers generating data and others looking to source data.

With the global geospatial market forecasted to be $681 billion in 2025 according to Geobuiz, we have seen data become exponentially richer over the last 5-10 years. The market is estimated to grow at a much faster rate post-2025, making it $1.44 trillion by 2030; this is largely being driven by strategic public policy reforms, increased government investment, the increased role of national geospatial agencies as well as industry acceleration strategies and innovation in the digital twin and metaverse paradigm.*

Everything you need to know about Innovation, Collaboration and Funding

September 2022

Innovation is the process of taking new ideas and research to market. It drives productivity, exports and economic growth and helps solve societal challenges.

In our recent webinar Innovate UK, Scottish Enterprise and ESA (European Space Agency) joined Location Data Scotland to explore opportunities around innovation, collaboration and funding.

Innovate UK funding and support

Innovate UK is the UK’s innovation agency, enabling business led and collaborative innovation in all sectors, technologies and UK geographic regions. The Innovate UK group offers a range of specialist support for innovative businesses:

Innovate UK	Innovate UK KTN	Innovate UK Edge	Catapults
Funding and support for innovation projects	Connections to new partners and opportunities	Support for growing innovative businesses	Specialist facilities and experts in technology areas

Carol Sunderland who works in the Artificial Intelligence and Data Economy (AIDE) Team discussed how Innovate UK has supported a range of geospatial innovation projects – both from a geospatial data generation and application perspective in a number of different sectors including agriculture, maritime, port logistics, construction, infrastructure and rail, by way of example. It was further explained that geospatial funding opportunities also lie in some cross-sector and international programmes.

ESA Funding and Support

We also heard from Ken Gordon, the UK business ambassador at ESA Space Solutions who are the largest space innovation network in the world. ESA support start-ups and SMEs to grow their business through zero equity funding, technology and commercial guidance, support from a personalised consultant and access to a network of partners. Companies can apply for ESA funding (open calls or kickstart activities) as long as they use one space asset – for example, earth observation, space weather, satellite navigation, satellite communication or human spaceflight technology.

Scottish Enterprise Funding and Support

Tracey Ward introduced the innovation, collaboration and funding team at Scottish Enterprise. Scottish Enterprise help ambitious companies who are seeking innovation funding from a variety of sources. Scottish Enterprise work typically, but not exclusively, with SMEs (10-250 employees) who are:

Market-orientated innovation and/or R&D projects

Can evidence a market (have customers who are willing to pay)

Are confident that they will be able to match-fund at least 30% of the project costs

Are willing to share their results

Our webinar speakers shared their top tips for preparing and submitting a funding application:

Ensure there is a fit with the funding call in question (including the technology readiness level (TRL), does your organisation fit the criteria, does your idea match the themes of the funding?).
Ensure your innovation is central to your application.
Solve a problem worth solving and make sure you include external validation of the problem.
Ensure you answer the IP (intellectual property) question fully.
Convey the business case within your application and demonstrate your market knowledge and the opportunity. Clearly articulate your specific knowledge of the market you are addressing your proposition and where you are positioned within the value chain.
For ESA applications understand how you will use the space assets you will be using.
Don’t generalise; ie don’t say ‘we are the only people doing this’ unless you can prove it! Demonstrate where you fit against the competition.
If your project requires partners, find your partners as early as possible. Seek support from the networks – Location Data Scotland, Innovate UK KTN and Scottish Enterprise. Individuals such as Luca Bodello from Innovate UK KTN can help provide geospatial connections.
Demonstrate your knowledge of the market opportunity. For ESA applications this needs to be from a UK/European perspective.
Don’t underestimate the time needed to complete an application. Ensure you submit it in plenty of time – on some platforms you can add draft versions of documents – upload as you go along so you have evidence if problems arise. Draft – Review – Redraft – Proof Read – Check – Submit
As Innovate UK is awarded via a competition model, look out for relevant competitions and answer the questions clearly.
Ensure you have the capacity to deliver the project.
Co-funding can NOT be other sources of public money.

If you missed our webinar, or just want to refresh your memory, links to the event recording and resources are available below.

Location Data Scotland can help your business access the right funding sources and support to help grow your business. If you wish to access this support, or the support discussed during the webinar, use the links below.
