The French Association for Geographic Information (Afigéo) is the professional community that federates 200 members from public, private and academic actors of Geodata in France. A key player in geographic information at the national level, Afigéo supports the development of the Geodata industry. It plays a central role in the relations between territorial platforms, the needs or uses of territories and the institutional level.
With the relaunch of the National Council for Geolocalised Information (CNIG) and the partnership with Ecolab, the digital innovation laboratory of the Ministry of Ecological Transition, Afigéo contributes to the national policy of French geographic information. It promotes the necessary coherence between the productions and uses of Geodata, the technical interoperability between platforms and between Geo and Open Data (data.gouv.fr or schema.gouv.fr).
In 2024, Afigéo organize at Nantes (La Cité des Congrès de Nantes) the 7th edition of GeoDataDays on the 19 & 20 September. With 1300 participants, a large exhibition of exhibitors, this annual congress federates over 2 days all the expertise through large debates, practical workshops to deal with the news of geodata and spatial observation and develop prospective approaches.
