Esri provides geographic information system (GIS) software and services, most notably the ArcGIS platform, which helps people create, analyze, and share maps and spatial data. Users can import data, build maps, run spatial analyses, and deploy dashboards and apps that incorporate maps, real-time feeds, and even AI insights. Esri differentiates itself by remaining privately owned since its founding, focusing on long-term GIS development rather than chasing quick profits, and maintaining a comprehensive, industry-standard suite that is used in urban planning, disaster response, logistics, and conservation. Its stated goal is to help people understand and manage the world through maps by turning data into actionable geographic insight.

August 20, 2026 at 8:10 a.m. New Airbus Imagery Enhances World Imagery Basemap as Part of Broader Expansion Announced at 2026 Esri User Conference * Esri is enhancing its World Imagery basemap through new agreements with Airbus, Vantor, and Nearmap, announced during the 2026 Esri User Conference. * Airbus will begin delivering 30 cm basemap imagery for approximately 2,000 cities worldwide starting in the second half of 2026. * Airbus basemaps provide highly accurate, color-consistent, nearly cloud-free coverage designed to deliver fresher and more detailed urban imagery. * Additional enhancements include expanded metropolitan coverage from Nearmap and continued global basemap updates from Vantor. REDLANDS, Calif. - At the 2026 Esri User Conference (UC), the global leader in location intelligence announced a significant enhancement to its World Imagery basemap through a new agreement with Airbus. The collaboration will enable Esri to provide ArcGIS users with high-resolution imagery coverage for approximately 2,000 cities around the world through the addition of the new Airbus, Nearmap, and Vantor imagery. The added data is part of an enhanced imagery initiative for the World Imagery Basemap, the most widely used map service in ArcGIS, and was highlighted during this year's Esri UC Plenary. Beginning in the second half of 2026, Airbus will deliver 30 cm imagery designed to provide more current and detailed visual context for ArcGIS users worldwide. Airbus imagery is highly accurate, color-consistent, and provides nearly cloud-free coverage with minimized haze and seasonal variation between contiguous images. As part of the broader World Imagery enhancement program announced at the 2026 UC, Esri also finalized agreements with Nearmap and Vantor. Nearmap's 20 cm vertical imagery will be integrated and regularly updated across 200 metropolitan areas in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, while Vantor will continue providing the global imagery foundation for World Imagery, including committed refreshes for hundreds of cities and upgrades to 15 cm imagery in select major urban areas. "Airbus Defense and Space has been delivering accurate and consistent imagery for more than 35 years and we are excited to take this next step collaborating with them," said Deane Kensok, chief technology officer for ArcGIS content at Esri. "The enhanced imagery Airbus brings to Esri's collection of basemap data will better help to support the mapping and analysis workflows of organizations across government, commercial, nonprofit, and academic sectors."

Grocery TV and Esri team to bring data-driven media planning to in-store retail media. Partnership lets brands plan against 3,500+ behavioral and psychographic audience attributes across 6,700+ grocery stores, aligning in-store buys with how national advertisers plan TV and digital July 29, 2026. 1:12 PM NEW YORK - Grocery TV has announced a partnership with Esri to enhance Grocery TV's behavioral and psychographic targeting across its national retailer-owned network of over 6,700 stores. Through Esri's Market Potential dataset, the platform now incorporates over 3,500 audience attributes spanning categories like automotive, finance, health and wellness, telecom, and CPG. Brands and agencies can now plan against in-store audiences aligned with how they already plan and buy TV and digital. While digital campaigns are built around specific behavioral segments, in-store media has historically relied on broad demographic or geographic proxies. With Grocery TV, advertisers can build custom store lists around shoppers who over-index on behaviors such as planning to purchase a vehicle, prioritizing organic food, or recently switching wireless carriers. "In-store media is increasingly being viewed as an extension of video and digital strategies, not just an out-of-home buy," said Marlow Nickell, co-founder & CEO, Grocery TV. "The partnership with Esri enhances our ability to let media buyers approach in-store by audience, not just by placement. Most purchases still happen in physical stores, and reaching the right shopper at the point of decision is one of the most valuable moments in the funnel." eMarketer raised its 2026 DOOH forecast by 18% to reflect the growth of in-store media. As the channel scales, measurement and targeting capabilities have become table stakes. Major retailers have announced investments in closed-loop attribution and audience segmentation, signaling that the channel is maturing beyond experimental budgets into performance-driven media plans. "Esri has long helped organizations understand consumer behavior at the local level," said Chris Nickola, director of commercial, Esri. "Partnering with Grocery TV brings that intelligence directly into the in-store media planning process, connecting behavioral and psychographic insights to the physical environments where most shoppers visit every week. It's a natural extension of how location intelligence can inform smarter, more relevant advertising." With over 120 retail partners and reaching 95 million unique shoppers, Grocery TV activates behavioral targeting at scale across independent and regional grocers nationwide. Audience-based targeting powered by Esri is available now to brands and agencies planning campaigns across Grocery TV's platform. For more information, visit grocerytv.com.
HERE Technologies and Esri have signed a three-year agreement to jointly develop location-based analytics and visualization solutions supporting AI adoption. The collaboration combines HERE's mapping, traffic and mobility data with Esri's ArcGIS platform to make geospatial data more accessible to engineering teams and AI systems. The partnership aims to help customers across transportation, logistics, public sector, automotive and high tech sectors derive insights and improve decision-making. Built on ArcGIS, the new capabilities will support agentic workflows and reduce complexity in integrating location data at scale. The agreement deepens a 20-year partnership between the companies. HERE introduced its GIS Data Suite in 2025 as a foundational layer for the analytics capabilities being developed through this collaboration.
