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.
