See how today’s leaders map the future
As a leading location intelligence platform provider (Forrester Wave 2020), Esri empowers visionary leaders with innovative tools to help create sustainable prosperity. In the UK, Location Intelligence has been recognised by government as being key to economic growth, with the recent publication of the UK Geospatial Strategy. Esri's customers in the UK are at the forefront of unlocking that potential, driving digital transformation by embracing the power of location, starting with three steps.

The outbreak of COVID-19 led to a 90% drop in passenger numbers and a significant reduction in public transport services in the West Midlands, within just a few short days. Transport for West Midlands stepped forwards rapidly to provide leadership in this period of uncertainty and keep vital services running for healthcare staff and other key workers.
