Public-Private Partnership for Geospatial Knowledge Infrastructure
Thursday, 21 October 2021 | 0930-1130 hrsPartnerships have traditionally been based on defined inputs, outputs and investments, often with obvious capital assets. Given the timeframes involved in creating valuable geospatial data and the vagaries of the marketplace, it is perhaps not surprising that geospatial data public private partnership (PPPs) have not materialized. The capital value of data may change this but meanwhile industry, government and investors need to explore new ways to partner across the ill-defined boundaries of geospatial knowledge. This may lead to new value-based partnerships based upon co-creation and sharing the value of derived knowledge through partners or a value-chain rather than long-term traditional PPP arrangements.
