per annum plus wider social benefits of >£6bn (Shakespeare Review, 2013)

• GeoServices – Global revenues $150-$270bn per year,

growing 13% per annum (Oxera 2013) – US geospatial industry 2011 - $73bn

revenues, 500k jobs with an impact of 15-20x this amount on the US economy, so driving $1.6T revenue and $1.4T cost savings (BCG, 2013)
