Presentations GeoBusiness Award Candidates

The event gives them access to an audience of industry professionals and will also show just how tough it will be for the judges to select three finalists. The winner will receive EUR 10,000 and a comprehensive PR package. Once the panel of judges has reached its decision, the 3rd GeoBusiness Award will be presented in Berlin on 2 November 2011.

The ideas range from an online platform for forestry information and an iPhone app for species conservation to a portal providing information on cabling for construction projects. The award which comes with a prize of EUR10,000 is presented by the GeoBusiness Commission (GIW Commission) of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology in recognition of new business models in the field of geobusiness. The GIW Commission numbers high-ranking associations from the German industrial sector among its members. As a result, the award focuses on extremely interesting business ideas or process improvements that have one thing in common - they prepare local public sector information for the market, says Olaf Freier, managing director of HINTE GmbH, the company responsible for organising the trade fair.
