March 18, 2019 -- Amsterdam: Geospatial World Forum 2019, a collaborative and interactive platform, which demonstrates collective and shared vision of the global geospatial community, announces Hexagon AB as its Platinum Sponsor. The event is to take place from 2-4 April 2019 in Taets Art & Event Park, Amsterdam.

Hexagon will be showcasing its industry-specific solutions, leveraging domain expertise in sensor technologies, software, and data orchestration to create Smart Digital Realities™ that improve productivity and quality across manufacturing, infrastructure, safety and mobility applications.

Ola Rollén, President & CEO of Hexagon AB will address the audience at the conference with his presentation: “The Big Dilemma: Doing Well? Or Doing Good?”, on April 2, 2019.

Hexagon President and CEO Ola Rollen believes profitability and sustainability should not be mutually exclusive. In fact, his message of “doing-good-by-doing-well” demonstrates how putting geospatial data to work drives sustainability through efficiency gains, increased safety, productivity and less waste – the very outcomes business and government leaders seek.

With strategic focus in the AEC, Smart Cities and Content business, Hexagon will have major presence in the conference programs including Construction & Engineering, Smart Cities, Geo4Environment, Commercialization & Democratization of Earth Observation and Technology Tracks via case studies by its executives and customers.

“Hexagon has the largest and most comprehensive technology portfolio covering the entire geospatial industry fabric. As platinum sponsor, Hexagon contributes key thought leadership in co-creating the Geospatial World Forum platform. Together, we look forward to delivering an insightful forum that will strengthen the geospatial industry,” says Anamika Das, Vice President, Outreach & Business Development at Geospatial Media and Communications.
