Formerly a pure map-producing agency, today the NGI serves as geobroker dealing with the production, integration and exchange of geospatial information in Belgium, making available geospatial data of reference in various analog and digital forms that are useful to administrations, the private sector and citizens. The NGI also contributes positioning Belgium at the cutting-edge of GIM knowledge and innovation and at the heart of multilateral dialogues and cooperation on Geospatial Information Management.
