GIS and RS Consulting Center GeoGraphic

Their core work

GeoGraphic is a Georgian private consultancy specializing in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing — spatial analysis tools used to map, monitor, and model environmental change. In EU projects, they contribute geospatial data analysis and visualization to support environmental decision-making, from urban nature-based interventions to marine ecosystem assessment. They also play a knowledge transfer and capacity-building role, connecting scientific outputs with local communities and regional authorities. Their work bridges the South Caucasus and Black Sea region with European research networks, offering geographic and contextual expertise that most Western European partners cannot replicate.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their first project (2017–2022), GeoGraphic worked on urban resilience — applying transdisciplinary methods and spatial tools to help front-runner cities co-design nature-based solutions with local communities. By their second project (2021–2025), their focus shifted outward from cities to sea: the Black Sea basin, marine ecosystem services, blue growth, and climate monitoring at a regional scale. The shift from urban land-use analysis to marine spatial planning represents a meaningful broadening of their environmental scope, though spatial data methods remain the common thread throughout.

GeoGraphic appears to be repositioning from urban environmental consulting toward marine and coastal spatial analysis, with climate adaptation and ecosystem services likely to dominate any future EU project applications.

How they like to work

GeoGraphic has never led an EU project — they join as a participating partner and contribute specialist GIS and RS technical capacity to larger consortia. Despite only two projects, they have connected with 76 distinct partner organizations across 22 countries, suggesting they were embedded in genuinely large, multi-actor EU initiatives rather than small bilateral efforts. This profile fits a focused technical contributor that brings geographic expertise to consortia that need regional coverage or spatial analysis skills they lack internally.

With 76 unique consortium partners across 22 countries from just two projects, GeoGraphic's network is disproportionately wide for its size — a direct result of participating in large Horizon 2020 consortia. Their geographic footprint includes both EU member states and Black Sea neighborhood countries, giving them rare access to research networks in the South Caucasus and Eastern European rim.

What sets them apart

GeoGraphic is one of the very few Georgian SMEs with demonstrated H2020 project experience, making them a strategically valuable partner for any consortium that needs legitimate Black Sea or South Caucasus regional representation alongside credible GIS and remote sensing capability. Their dual experience in urban environmental governance and marine spatial analysis is an uncommon combination, particularly for a private company rather than a university. For consortium builders targeting EU neighborhood or enlargement regions, they fill a gap that no Western European partner can.

Highlights from their portfolio

• CONNECTING Nature
  The larger of their two projects (EUR 190,000 EC contribution), this major H2020 initiative on urban nature-based solutions placed GeoGraphic inside a wide European consortium bridging city governance, ecology, and spatial planning.
• DOORS
  This Black Sea research support project is notable for its regional specificity — GeoGraphic's Georgian base makes them a natural fit for a project where geographic proximity and regional authority access are direct assets.
