We hope to take this event as an opportunity to deepen the cooperation model of "combining global vision with local practice, government guidance with market forces, and integrating technological innovation with humanistic care", and jointly write the innovative achievements of geographic information on the grand picture of human common development.
Wang Zengning stated in his speech that geographic information is an important new production factor and strategic data resource. The China Geographic Information Industry Association will continue to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, focusing on promoting the internationalization of industries and assisting Chinese enterprises, research institutions, universities and other member units to "go global".

In recent years, Deqing has firmly shouldered its mission and made every effort to serve and ensure the operation of the United Nations Global Geographic Information Knowledge and Innovation Center. It has deeply implemented the "Geographic Information Peak" action, opened up industrial tracks for cross-border integration and development such as "Geographic Information+Internet of Vehicles", "Geographic Information+Low altitude Economy", and "Geographic Information+Artificial Intelligence", and built an innovative ecosystem integrating education, science, and human resources such as the Mogan Mountain Information Laboratory, the International Institute of Geographic Information, and the School of Geographic Information at Zhejiang University of Technology. It has enriched the open path of exploring global cooperation with the "World Geographic Information Home" and established an organizational structure of "one bureau and three centers", effectively promoting a new round of high-quality development of geographic information. Next, Deqing will work hand in hand with all parties to jointly promote the empowerment of global governance by the geographic information industry to a higher level.
