HeiGIT Information

At HeiGIT (Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology), we envision a better society and environment through the advancement of open geoinformation and geoinformation technology. We provide research and development to support decision-making in sustainable mobility, humanitarian aid, and climate action, all underpinned by big spatial data analytics and machine learning. Founded in 2019 as a non-profit organization, HeiGIT is an affiliated institute of Heidelberg University. We contribute to state-of-art research in geoinformatics and geoAI under the scientific lead of Prof. Alexander Zipf. From services that assist humanitarian efforts to indicators that aid in climate mitigation, we are continuously expanding the ways in which geoinformation can make a difference. By developing our services based on open, globally available geodata, we can create adaptable and impactful solutions for communities around the world.
