Great to visit Ordnance Survey and see the fantastic work they're doing with data. ๐The great wealth of talent and creativity I saw shows how data can be used to create transformative products to improve peopleโs lives.



People often think that Ordnance Survey is just about maps, but they're transforming data to improve people's lives. When I visited their office, I was able to see some of the impressive & imaginative work being done.

We were proud to take part in the #CambridgeConference earlier this week, Ordnance Surveyโs prestigious biennial gathering of national mapping agencies from around the world to explore the role of geospatial insight in addressing global challenges.


We welcomed Minister for the Future Digital Economy and Online Safety, Maggie Jones Department for Science, Innovation and Technology to OS HQ, sharing the capabilities of OS data and how it's improving people's lives on a daily basis. Maggie Jones GDS
