Geospatial World - January 2014

في هذا العدد

Welcome to the 2014 Annual edition of Geospatial World. In keeping with the global economy trends, we focus on the emerging powerhouses – the BRICS. Read up our cover stories on geospatial implementation in the key areas of economies in these countries – urban planning, agriculture and mining. Special focus is given to the status of geospatial infrastructure that will take BRICS to the next level.

Do delve in to the Doing Business guide for BRICS, which gives a snapshot of the World Bank’s Doing Business 2014 Report for these five emerging economies. You may also find handy the BRICS Bluebook – a comprehensive list of key geospatial companies from the BRICS.

Focusing away from BRICS, we have the results of the Geospatial World Readers’ Survey 2013, which has brought out some interesting results about the top geospatial companies, their products and services. Our second feature, a Glassdoor rating of the leading CEOs, throws up some surprises as well. This is a view from the other side, that of the people working in geospatial companies.

Last but not the least, as you plan your business moves in 2014, get updated on some of the most promising products and services from top companies with our Tech for Tomorrow feature. It provides an interesting list of hardware and software that are going to be the movers and shakers in the year ahead.

So, get on to the groove!
