Mr. Wang Haitao attended the FIG partner enterprise member closed-door meeting. He proposed that FIG should strengthen its interaction with China's surveying and mapping field and organize more exchange activities in China, which triggered heated discussions among the guests.
At the conference, Yan Qin was successfully elected as the Vice Chairman of FIG.
In this event, SuperMap had in-depth exchanges with representatives from government surveying and mapping departments around the world, introduced China's GIS technology and development.
We look forward to more in-depth exchanges with surveying and mapping colleagues and surveying and mapping authorities in the future to jointly improve natural resource management capabilities. At the same time, SuperMap will continue to strengthen cooperation with FIG to build a bridge for GIS technology exchanges and cooperation between China and other countries.
