Welcome adress

It is the fifth time that INTERGEO – EAST takes place and the third time at this place in Belgrade, Serbia. The congress trade fair   now becomes tradition and at the same time shows the necessity to create this marketplace for the fields of geodesy, geoinformation and landmanagement in South-East-Europe.
National and international challenges relating to the creation of spatial data infrastructures is one example for outstanding activities. It includes the implementation of a modern cadastre and digital mapping technologies as well. The congress and the fair will present the results of the last years and new ways for the future.
New partners as AGISEE from Bulgaria and the Serbian Chamber of Engineers will first time join and underline the importance of the INTERGEO-EAST.
Discussion and networking on the way to new methods in an international acting world gives the background for DVW (German association for Geodesy, Geoinformation and Landmanagement) to support INTERGEO-EAST.
We are sure, that this 5th congress trade fair will be a successful event and deepen our partnership for our members and partners as well.
