[Geo4All] Looking for thought-provoking discussions at UNWGIC? Register Now!

On 15th June 2018, I have emailed UN GGIM on the need to work together with the OSGeo and GeoForAll community for enabling geoeducation and entrepreneurship opportunities for all (esp. for the economically poor worldwide). I haven’t got any response so far.


It is very important the UN GGIM projects make use of free and open source tools, so there is no proprietary vendor lock in and developing countries and economically poor communities worldwide can also benefit from entrepreneurship and innovation opportunities in GIS. Digital economy opportunities should be open for all esp. for economically poor students and communities.  Access to quality education and entrepreneurship opportunities is key for getting rid of extreme poverty and enable broadly shared prosperity for all.


It's all about meaningful impact for everyone. Thanks.


Best wishes,


Suchith

I didn't know. Wonderful! Let us see who else is there and in which session. I forgot that also Ivana Ivanova is attending. And probably Patricia Solis. Please if you will be in Deqing, raise show you up!

Cheers

Hi Maria,

Dear Sergio

OSGeo/GeoforAll is not officially present but there are some people, like Serena and I, who will go there. Good to know if there is somebody else. Are you coming?

Best,

Maria
