The Institut Cartogràfic i Geològic de Catalunya (ICGC) is Catalonia's cartographic and geological institution with 265 employees focused on production, research and development. Historically, ICGC generated revenue through map sales but has increasingly adopted digital distribution and open data models. ICGC now provides free downloads of over 8 million data files and allows commercial use of data under certain licenses. To promote usage, ICGC operates tools like an online map store, digital library and mobile apps, and staff provide technical support to thousands of users each year.
