#MemberSpotlight | 💬 “You can sit behind the wheel and say, ‘I want to go home, but on the way, I need to pick up the kids from school and grab some Chinese food.’ The AI-powered tool interprets these requests and translates them into commands for the navigation system. This innovation leverages AI to understand natural language, fundamentally transforming how drivers interact with their vehicles,” said Alain De Taeye, Board Member of TomTom and Vice Chair – Patrons at WGIC.

💬 “Technologies are becoming more accessible, and costs are dropping, allowing more countries, industries, and companies to access space. These technical advancements continue to evolve. However, the dominant applications of Earth observation remain in defense and intelligence, such as maritime domain awareness and monitoring,” said Minda Suchan, Vice President of Geointelligence at MDA Space.     Watch the full podcast for more insights: https://lnkd.in/dJTVu8AW     #WGIC #MDASpace #Geospatial #GeospatialIndustry #EarthObservation #GeospatialTechnology 

#MemberSpotlight | 💬 ”The Singapore Parks and the Urban Redevelopment Agency delivered a fascinating joint presentation on their efforts to establish Singapore as a “City in Nature.” One of the most impressive aspects of their work is the comprehensive mapping of every tree in Singapore. Each tree is assigned a unique identifier, has been LiDAR-scanned, and is represented as a 3D digital twin. GIS plays a central role in this process, enabling the team to understand, catalog, plan, respond, and effectively manage the urban greenery,” said Brian Cross, Executive Director of Esri Professional Services.
