Austria—announced as part of the company’s acquisition of indoor
positioning system (IPS) provider indoo.rs—that is focused on developing
cutting-edge IPS capabilities. New Delhi becomes the site of the
fifteenth R&D center Esri operates.
“At Esri, we are continually pushing disruption, and we see our mission
and goals as being aligned with those of our customers who are also
advancing their use of GIS software,” said Jack Dangermond, Esri founder

are able to continue to engage talent worldwide to expand the
capabilities of Esri Geospatial Cloud.”
Esri R&D Center—New Delhi will focus on applying artificial intelligence
(AI) and deep learning to location intelligence. Additionally, the
center will play a significant role in developing the next generation of
Esri’s ArcGIS Enterprise based on a microservices architecture. The
company’s efforts will delve deeply into data science through spatial
machine learning, visualization, and analytics; deep learning through
object detection and segmentation using imagery; GeoAI solutions using
advanced analytics; and ArcGIS Enterprise server and data store
development.
