The conference has successfully highlighted the true potential of geospatial technology across multiple sectors and industries for over a decade. It is also known for being one of the most informative and sought-after international forums in the geospatial industry. Geospatial World Forum 2018 will establish the connection between geospatial technology and the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), a technology revolution, which will transform the way the world functions.

2 THEME GEO4IR: Geo-enabling 4th Industrial Revolution Our future is digital! Digitization helping businesses all around the world to streamline and automate all processes. Digital tools and technologies are profoundly affecting the way business is being conducted today. This also means that citizens will demand for smarter infrastructure, smarter utilities, smarter transportation and ultimately smarter and sustainable cities. The Fourth Industrial Revolution means more than just technology. It calls for a transformation of our entire ecosystem. Geospatial and location technologies are playing a key role in this. With geospatial sensors being deployed everywhere and spatial data becoming big data through its volume and velocity, Geo4IR will be a wave that the geospatial industry won t be able to miss out on. GEO4iR is the future of geospatial ecosystem!! The World Economic Forum helped the world understand the relevance of 4IR, and how it is going to transform the society and the world economy. Geospatial World Forum 2018 is going to highlight how geospatial technology is going to get remodeled. Here are some of the key aspects the GWF 2018 will discuss: How can we leverage Big Data, IoT, and AI using geospatial technology? How can the world consume geospatial technologies in an efficient manner? How can your industry benefit from the integration of 4IR and geospatial technology? How Geo4IR is going to change the geospatial industry business dynamics? Why it s time for geospatial professionals and academia to transform?
