The backbone of hydrography
Welcome to this very first edition of The Geospatial Ecosystem, powered by Geomares. This is a truly valuable ‘industry directory and partner guide’ to keep close to hand on your desk, on a shelf or in your bag. Whenever you are searching for a manufacturer or service provider to help you with your next project, grab The Geospatial Ecosystem and have a quick flick through it –especially when you are looking for a bit more information about the inner workings of these companies that are active in the broad field of hydrographic surveying, underwater positioning, uncrewed systems, attitude, heading and motion, oceanography, meteorology and more. What really drives them, what do they regard as the key highlights, and which success stories have they worked on? Of course, there’s some practical information as well: contact details and a handy QR code to take you directly to their profile on Geo-matching or Hydro International.
We believe that the companies included in this guide really do form the backbone of the geospatial and hydrospatial ecosystem. It’s no coincidence that all the companies are members
of Hydro International, meaning that they support and help to sustain in-depth and high-quality information for hydrography professionals through our platform. The featured companies are open to networking, collaborating and doing business. The people who own, lead and operate within these organizations are truly dedicated to furthering hydrography.
At Geomares, we aim to support their efforts through all of our information channels – and, particularly tangibly, through this new guide –to strengthen the role and reputation of hydrography as the fundamental layer of so many important developments shaping the world of tomorrow. Whether speeding up the energy transition through offshore renewables, tackling climate change and especially natural hazards in the coastal zone, increasing safe navigation, safeguarding habitats for underwater life or much more, deployment of the right equipment, software, imagery and data – and therefore the knowledge, expertise and solutions from these suppliers – will be vital to future success.
