Welcome to the website dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the National Geographic Institute (NGI). On the occasion of its anniversary year, the NGI proudly remembers the past and looks forward to the future.
The NGI is the Belgian authority on geodata and cartography. In its current form, the NGI has been literally mapping Belgium for five decades, from historical maps to digital datasets. Thus, the NGI supports the government, the private sector, science and society. Today, with a strong focus on innovation and the future, the NGI acts as a federal geobroker: it collects, organises and makes accessible reliable geographic information about the entire Belgian territory.
