GEOSPATIAL ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES EPE

Their core work

GET Ltd is a Greek geospatial technology SME that builds software and services for processing, integrating, and commercialising location-based data. Their work spans from scalable linking of large-scale Points of Interest (POI) datasets to the development of data marketplace infrastructure for industrial geospatial assets. In the SLIPO project they contributed to the challenge of harmonising heterogeneous POI data at scale, and in OpertusMundi they helped build a single digital market for buying, selling, and discovering geospatial data products. Their practical expertise lies at the intersection of spatial data engineering and the emerging data economy — turning raw geographic datasets into tradeable, value-added services.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their first H2020 project (2017–2019), GET Ltd worked on the technical problem of linking and integrating large heterogeneous POI datasets — a data engineering challenge focused on interoperability and scale. By 2020–2022, their focus had shifted toward the economic layer of geospatial data: marketplaces, data trading, and value-added services within the broader data economy. This shift from raw data integration to data commercialisation suggests the company is moving up the value chain — from building pipes to building markets.

GET Ltd appears to be positioning itself at the commercial end of geospatial data — building platforms and services that enable data trading and discovery, making them a candidate partner for projects in data spaces, Gaia-X ecosystems, or sector-specific data marketplace initiatives.

How they like to work

GET Ltd has participated exclusively as a consortium partner across both projects, never taking a coordinating role — typical for a small specialist SME that contributes specific technical or commercial expertise rather than project management capacity. Both projects were Innovation Actions, meaning GET Ltd works in applied, deployment-oriented consortia rather than pure research groups. With 12 distinct partners across two projects, they show breadth of network for their size, though the small project count makes it impossible to determine whether any partnerships are recurring.

GET Ltd has worked with 12 unique consortium partners across 6 countries in just two projects, suggesting active engagement within each consortium rather than passive participation. Their network is European in scope, consistent with ICT Innovation Action projects that typically draw partners from multiple EU member states.

What sets them apart

GET Ltd occupies a specific niche that few Greek SMEs fill: applied geospatial data engineering with a clear commercial orientation toward data markets and platforms. Unlike academic GIS groups or large geospatial software vendors, they operate at the SME scale where they can contribute practically to both the technical and business-model dimensions of geospatial data products. For a consortium needing a partner who understands both the plumbing of spatial data and how to package it commercially, GET Ltd offers a combination that is harder to find than either capability alone.

Highlights from their portfolio

• OpertusMundi
  The larger of their two projects at EUR 493,500 EC funding, this Innovation Action tackled the emerging challenge of building a digital single market for industrial geospatial data — directly relevant to EU data strategy priorities.
• SLIPO
  An earlier project addressing the technically demanding problem of scalable linking and integration of Big POI data, establishing GET Ltd's credentials in large-scale spatial data engineering.
