Counting on more than 30 exhibitors, the fair of products and services that will take place during MundoGEO#Connect will present innovations and releases from the geo-technology sector. From June 14 to June 16, in São Paulo, Brazil, about 3 thousand people will be participating in the several activities promoted by the event, which will also comprehend mini-courses, seminars, workshops and users’ meetings.
According to Emerson Zanon Granemann, director of MundoGEO’s group and promoter of the event, it is the economical moment for Latin America, and particularly for Brazil, due to the fact that the geo-technologies market has been impelling a lot in the area. “The global companies of geomatics have been enlarging their sales more and more in the continent. Some already state that the sales in the area have been bending recently due to investments in the infrastructure required by geospatial solutions”, reports Mr. Granemann.
