LX will hold Smart GEO Expo 2022, Asia¡¯s largest geospatial information industry technology exchange exposition at Exhibition Hall 1 of KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do, from Nov. 2 to 4.
The event will be held in cooperation with the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
Under the theme of ¡°Digital Earth, a Better Life for All,¡± GEO Expo 2022 will seek a sustainable future for a better life and healthier earth based on spatial information, core infrastructure of the digital age, digital twins, drones, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR).
Smart GEO Expo will be held offline for the first time in three years, as it could not be held in-person in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It will offer exhibitions, conferences, meetings and additional side programs that cover the newest technologies in spatial information, major infrastructure of a digital platform government, in addition to trends in utilization of convergence-based technologies.
Smart GEO Expo has served as a bridgehead for entering the market by introducing innovative new technologies by going beyond a simple industrial expo and matching Korean and foreign companies in the field of spatial information.
In particular, this year, much attention is being paid to the fact that Smart CEO Expo 2022 will make good use of QR codes and an indoor navigation service to save energy and cut down on waste.
There will be various programs and events, such as exhibitions, conferences, meetings and business, starting with the opening ceremony at 10 a.m. on Nov. 2.
First of all, the exhibition hall will have a PR pavilion that introduces promising geospatial information companies and digital companies in Korea and abroad.
The PR pavilion will introduce innovation-powered digital companies that are expanding into new services, such as proptech (a compound word of properties and technology), location-based advertising platforms and 3D modeling safety diagnosis, which has come into the spotlight recently.
In addition, there will be places where visitors can view and experience newly pioneered future industries, such as real-time hologram avatars, flight simulations, autonomous driving, robots, a vertiport (a place for aircraft¡¯s vertical take-off and landing), and Korean urban air mobility (K-UAM).
A conference to share geospatial information technology, policies, and technology trends and to seek development plans will be held along with a business program that connects Korean companies and foreign buyers in order to boost the competitiveness of the geospatial data industry at home and abroad.
Smart GEO Expo 2022¡¯s global programs will offer opportunities for high-ranking government officials and big figures from major countries to meet and have deep discussions with one another to support participating companies¡¯ and buyers¡¯ development of overseas markets.
Applications for participation can be made through the 2022 Smart Homeland Expo website (www.smartgeoexpo.kr) until Sept. 30.
Meanwhile, LX shed new lights on the value and results of cadastral resurvey for the collection of digital land information data.
Every year, LX holds the Digital Cadastral Day on or around Sept. 16 in line with the enactment of the Special Act on Cadastral Survey on Sept. 16, 2011.
The Second Digital Cadastral Day was celebrated by LX with a commemorative ceremony at The May Hotel in Jeonju of North Jeolla Province held from Sept. 15 to 16 this year.
LX President Kim Jung-yeol gives his commemorative speech at the second anniversary of Digital Cadastral Day on Sept. 16.
The ceremony was held in the attendance of Lee Seong-hae, chairman of the Metropolitan Area Transportation Committee, Woo Beom-gi, mayor of Jeonju and Kim Seok-jong, chairman of Geospatial Information Industry Association.
The Muan-gun Office of Jeollanam-do received the Presidential Citation. The Prime Minister¡¯s Citation was awarded to Park Jeong-won, an official of the South Chungcheong Provincial Government and the Gwangju and Jeonnam Regional Headquarters of LX.
At the proclamation ceremony for win-win growth, representatives of the public, private and academic sectors showed their strong will to carry out cadastral resurvey and digital land information tasks through mutual cooperation.
