Asia Geospatial Forum has revealed effective solutions on various concerns of Geospatial Technology in the Asia Pacific region; it has matured as a conference and is now widely recognised as one of the most important geospatial industry event in Asia Pacific. Geospatial Media and Communications is resolute to take Asia Geospatial Forum to a privileged level in order to have its recognition as one of the largest Asian Geospatial Industry Event and the conference is in its way forward to achieve the desired objective.

Vietnam has been putting itself on the path of economic growth and development post the War. The country is adopting modern technologies to be on par with other South East Asian countries and is capitalising on the second mover advantage to evolve its geospatial footprint. With the first remote sensing satellite on its way, Vietnam is on the right track towards full utilisation of geospatial information. With the right approach, Vietnam holds huge opportunities on the geospatial front, especially in the natural resource management such as land and forestry. Geospatial elements has also tapped into the fast-rising sectors such as transportation, utilities, public safety and urban planning.

Considering the encouraging developmental setting, adequate infrastructure and growing investments, Asia Geospatial Forum will travel for the first time to Vietnam, in an endeavour to facilitate its industry growth. The 11th Asia Geospatial Forum will be held on 17-19 September 2012 in Hotel Melia, Hanoi.
