As the world continues to face unprecedented disruption, HERE Technologies is paving the way to a more efficient, safer, and greener future. HERE CEO Edzard Overbeek tells us why it is such an exciting time to be in the location industry, how location data and technology can be utilized to power solutions to some of today’s most pressing challenges, and why collaboration is key to building better and moving the world forward, together.

In an increasingly disrupted global environment, the role of technological innovation continues to evolve and expand. From driverless vehicles, robotics and automation to item level asset tracking, real-time inventory, and end -to-end supply chain visibility, technologies are instrumental in making ecosystems and value chains more efficient, agile, sustainable, secure, and resilient. At the same time location content and intelligence, mapping, and navigation are enabling an ever larger set of use cases such as indoor guidance in warehouses, Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), predictive ETAs, and sustainable routing of commercial vehicles. The Maps as a Sensor concept, and by extension digital twins, are now firmly established as critical complements to hardware-based perception. Finally, and most importantly, technology go to market strategies are increasingly based on new business practices characterized by open and standardized platforms and marketplaces enabling seamless commerce and new business models.

Ever since we started out, HERE has sought to shrink the time it takes to detect a real-world change, reflect it in the map and get it into the hands of customers. Today, this process can run into weeks or even months, depending on how customers consume the map. Now, new mapping technology is poised to slash the whole process to under 24 hours. In their presentation, Giovanni and Remco outline how HERE is accelerating map creation as well as providing the software customers need to create their own custom products and private maps.
