The Geospatial World Forum will run from 5-9 May 2014 at the Centre International de Conférences Genève (CICG), Geneva, Switzerland, with the theme ‘geoSMART Planet: resources + infrastructure & you’.
With technological advancements, everything on the planet earth is gradually becoming smartly interconnected. These intelligent interconnections are bringing plethora of opportunities to the world – for every business, institution and individual. Forward-thinking leaders in business, government and civil society around the world are capturing the potential of such smarter systems to achieve economic growth, near-term efficiency, sustainable development and societal progress.
