Taylor Geospatial Institute

Founded in 2022, the Taylor Geospatial Institute is a first of its kind entity in the geospatial ecosystem – designed to fuel research, collaboration, and impact. With a legacy investment from Andrew C. Taylor and the commitment of 8 academic and research institutions, TGI is the cornerstone of establishing a global center of geospatial excellence in St. Louis. Our vision is to spark a revolution in geospatial science and technology that will benefit humanity. Our mission is to catalyze collaboration across our consortium, to connect partners in the broader geospatial ecosystem, and to align distinctive strengths, collective expertise, and shared resources to generate innovative research and solutions. And our approach is to: - Forge connections within and beyond a world-class interdisciplinary research collaborative to address today’s global challenges of food security, climate impact, public health, and national security using location science - Establish an open spatial science research infrastructure in collaboration with industry, government, and research partners - Accelerate the commercialization of mature research results in partnership with the Taylor Geospatial Engine - Nurture the next generation of geospatial researchers and data scientists To post, share, and access geospatial opportunities and tools with the TGI consortium and partners consider joining the Taylor Geospatial Institute research and Technology Hub - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14395173/
