 Hi and welcome to InterGioTV News from Berlin, diving into the world of innovation and geospatial technology. Over the next three days, more than 15.000 visitors from the global geo-community will gather here under the motto, inspiration for a smarter world. You will meet 560 exhibitors with their innovations and solutions from more than 40 countries and you may listen to almost 300 speakers at the numerous presentations at the InterGio conference and stages. Everything revolves around the importance of geo-data in our modern society. There will be a focus on smart cities, on BIM earth observation, sustainability, modern land management and cartography. And this year, InterGio will also take a special look at the maritime and blue economy as well as earth observation and global monitoring. A new content format called Unmanned Systems will focus on the latest UV technologies and applications. InterGioTV will be reporting for you every day from the heart of the action and you can visit us at any time when we are producing life here in hall 5.2. And traditionally, InterGio is always open the evening before by the organizer, dvw. InterGioTV was on site for you. InterGio 2023 was officially opened on Monday evening in the historical ambience of Berlin's Museum of Natural History. About 150 guests gathered for this significant event. Key figures from politics, science, research, administration, industry and associations were all present. Among them was F.I.G. president, Diane Dumaschi. Rudolf Steiger, the president of dvw, gave the opening remarks for InterGio. This was followed by speeches from Rita Schwarze-Lüer-Sutter, the parliamentary state secretary at the federal ministry of the interior at homeland and Stefan Machulik from Berlin's Senate. A highlight of the evening was a panel discussion on the importance of geo-information. Panelists included Jack Dangermond, founder of Esri, Boris Skoplyak, vice president of Trimble, Kathleen Broder from Hexagon and Barbara Ryan from the World Geospatial Industry Council. After this engaging conversation, guests had the chance to share their views and discuss potential future collaborations at the networking event. InterGio is year number one and thus the most important international congress platform and trade fair for geo-desi, geo-information and land management. As the market leader, it brings together the geo-spatial community and networks it with its user industries and Daniel Katzer is responsible for the management of the InterGio Expo and is looking forward to these three important days.
