This has already seen Geocurve win high-profile contracts such as the Thames Estuary Asset Management Team2100 Project along with two prestigious awards including the Environment Agency’s Project Excellence Awards for innovation. As the partnership with IWS demonstrates, the unrivalled combination of our UAV flight proficiency and our state-of-the-art analytics techniques, which is a major differentiator compared to our peers, is generating a growing pipeline of business with major blue-chip companies and government agencies.”
