Location Innovation Hub has launched a new online course designed to help professionals apply artificial intelligence to geospatial workflows. This English language training, delivered through the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) platform, provides an intensive introduction to the growing role of AI in the use of satellite imagery, point clouds, and time series data.
In just over an hour, participants will be introduced to various geospatial data types and demonstrate how new foundational models such as Segment Anything Model (SAM) and GeoLLM are transforming the analysis process. This course features real-world examples demonstrating how organizations are already deploying GeoAI to improve decision-making, automate mapping tasks, and uncover new spatial insights. It also highlights key global trends that will shape the future of this rapidly evolving field.
This training is aimed at professionals in both the public and private sectors who work with spatial data or AI-driven solutions. Upon completion, a certificate can be downloaded and participants are encouraged to share their feedback to support ongoing course development. The program is available here.
Building skills for the GeoAI era
A related webinar will be held on December 1st from 12:00 to 13:00 EET (11:00 to 12:00 Central European Time) and will provide further perspectives on the themes introduced in the GeoAI course. This session explores how the combination of machine learning, deep learning, and spatial analytics enables the transition from raw geospatial data to actionable intelligence.
The Location Innovation Hub serves as a center of expertise in location and technology. We support small and medium-sized enterprises and public institutions in areas such as business development, introduction of new technologies, and identification of financing opportunities. The Hub’s operations are coordinated by the Finnish Geospatial Institute, and its services are provided through an extensive network of partners.
This course and the broader effort reflect the growing importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration to accelerate innovation in GeoAI. GeoAI combines artificial intelligence and GIS to address real-world challenges and enable more effective deployment of advanced spatial technologies.
