WGIC Panel - Navigating the Global Geospatial Policy Shift
Von den Vorschriften zur Umsetzung: Den globalen Wandel in der Geodatenpolitik meistern
In dieser Podiumsdiskussion wird untersucht, wie eine rasante Welle von politischen Maßnahmen, Vorschriften und Standards – von KI-Gesetzen, die sich auf Standortdaten erstrecken, über Regelwerke für Drohnen und Maßnahmen zur Datensouveränität bis hin zu einer Vielzahl von Compliance-Fristen – das operative Umfeld der Geodatenbranche neu prägt. Auf der Grundlage des vierteljährlichen „Geospatial Policy Scan“ der WGIC, der Entwicklungen weltweit verfolgt, konzentriert sich die Diskussion darauf, wie Unternehmen den Übergang von der Beobachtung politischer Entwicklungen zur operativen Bereitschaft schaffen können und wie die Branche dazu beitragen kann, die Regeln mitzugestalten, solange diese noch in der Entstehungsphase sind.
