Everyone wants every detail of every job at every stage. Whether you’re high and dry or the guy getting his boots wet. In utilities across the globe, real-time data is what everyone wants. From the fi eld. In the offi ce. At the touch of a fi nger. Trimble meets this demand with software workfl ows and hardware that capture data simply, and share it instantly. With Trimble, field teams can access the data fi les they need to make decisions on the fl y. And share those decisions with the offi ce. Not the next day, or on a scrap of paper, but on-the-spot, in real time, with a consistent, data-supported workfl ow.

Solutions from the Global Navigation Satellite System Community http://www.insidegnss.com/ subscriptionservices FOREWORD Over the last 20 years, geospatial technologies have evolved and dramatically converged with a variety of disciplines ranging from Urban development, Natural Resource Management, Construction & Engineering, Infrastructure & Utilities etc. The discrete, even esoteric pursuits we referred to as GIS, Earth imaging, GPS, AM/FM, location based services and navigation systems are no longer discrete. Now, they are very well integrated into variety of developmental planning activities. From being a highly specialised scientific endeavour, geospatial industry has evolved and grown significantly over the past five decades to become a full fledged specialised industry. Today, it is on its way to become part of a larger consumer industry. This transformation has been made possible by the vision, competence, dedication and commitment of many professionals, programmes, institutions, associations, com- panies and above all geospatial thought leaders who have provided direction to this industry. With an aim to facilitate the development of the geospatial industry and to bring together all the stakeholders, Geospatial World Forum is being organized by Geospatial Media & Communications and co-organised by Kadaster, The Nether- lands from 23-27 April 2012. With this year’s theme as “Geospatial Industry & World Economy”, the conference shall touch upon the dimensions and directions of geospatial industry and shall attempt to bring forward and project its utility, contri- bution and relevance to several important industries contributing to the economy of the world. On behalf of the organiser and the co-organiser, I would like to thank all our part- ners, sponsors, speakers and delegates for believing in us and supporting us in our attempt to bring together the global geospatial community. I am sure that the event would provide you a perfect business, learning and networking platform. We wish you all a very rewarding and productive conference. We sincerely hope that each one of you would take away some good experiences and memories of this opportunity.

Professionals will be able to optimise their workflows to be more productive and make smarter decisions. Citizens will be able to better interact with local, regional or national governments as well as enjoy the convenience of having GIS enabled apps on their smartphones. This exponential growth of the use of GIS is good for the GIS related software vendors and the many partners related to these companies. However, it also stresses the importance of educating people in geospatial technology and applications; currently there is a shortage of students in this field compared to the number of potential job opportunities. Further cooperation between the commercial and academic world together with governments is needed to improve this situation. Mean- while we are facing many challenges at a global scale in terms of energy, water, food, and security that are being driven by population growth and climate change. Gaining a better understanding about the scale and scope of these changes, and how they are interrelated, is a big job that requires a strong methodology with interconnected systems and monitoring approaches. Improved GIS capabilities coupled with the ability to collaborate via cloud-based applications and social media makes us optimistic that more can be done to find answers to these challenges. Igniting the “Dynamic Geospatial Ecosystem”: Bringing Geospatial Information to the World Ola Rollen, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hexagon, Sweden The Dynamic Geospatial Ecosystem – it’s the next paradigm of the information revolution, and it com- mands a new equilibrium in the geospatial industry. This new ecosystem not only integrates geospatial technologies and data into mainstream business enterprise systems but now also extends geographic information and its unlimited applications to consumers – not just the GIS user. However, geospatial data usage by everyone demands widespread access and distribution. Furthermore, extending geospatial information’s utility and relevance beyond the few and to the many
