Video summary

The Interio 2026 event in Munich has established a clear message that geoinformation has evolved beyond simple mapping into a critical driver for decision-making. The conference, which seamlessly integrated the expo and ticket holders, welcomed an international community eager to explore innovation and collaboration. Keynote speakers emphasized a major industry shift from merely capturing and recording data to creating systems that can reason about the world and act upon it. This transformation is largely attributed to artificial intelligence, specifically spatial AI, which is turning the geospatial sector into an age of intelligence where raw data becomes actionable innovation. Central to this evolution is the necessity for AI to be grounded in reality through precise measurements, a role that surveyors, metrology specialists, and the broader geomatics community are uniquely positioned to fulfill. The event highlighted the convergence of GIS and BIM, illustrating how engineering and geospatial worlds are merging to create more intelligent solutions. Attendees noted a strong demand from exhibitors for assistance in making their data AI-ready, underscoring the urgent need for professionals who can bridge the gap between official data sources and autonomous agent systems. This closed-loop approach ensures that technology is not just theoretical but is effectively applied to solve real-world problems. Beyond the technical advancements, the event celebrated the human element of innovation through the inspiring story of EZRI founder Jack Dangermond. He shared his philosophy that true passion comes from following one's own interests rather than adhering to external expectations or formal education. His advice to young people was to pursue what they genuinely love, whether it be music or driving a truck, as this intrinsic motivation leads to continuous improvement and excitement. This sentiment resonated throughout the halls, where the buzz of discovery and the search for tomorrow's answers were driven by individuals who dared to play around with technology until they found its potential. As the first day concluded, the focus turned toward future challenges and opportunities, including the role of digital twins in autonomous decision-making and the integration of global perspectives that differ from traditional markets. The event successfully demonstrated that the next generation of geoinformation relies on a combination of precise real-world data, advanced AI reasoning, and a community dedicated to collaboration. With highlights ranging from international company presence to the fusion of engineering disciplines, Interio 2026 set the stage for a press conference and awards ceremony the following day, promising further insights into how these technologies will shape the future landscape.

Welcome to Interior TV news number two and to the full energy of day one at Interio 2026 in Munich. The halls are buzzing with what makes this community unique. Innovation, collaboration, and the search for tomorrow's answers. But what are the big topics of this year? We went out to find out. Very detailed and very professional. So lots of options and opportunities here. >> Very excited. So we are waiting many people. >> You can see the new technology here and they are currently using them. >> Intero 2026 opened in Munich with a clear message. Geo information is no longer about maps. It is about decisions. DVW President Rudolfpher welcomed the international community followed by a greeting from Sebastian Wa state secretary at the federal ministry of the interior. The highlight Ezri founder Jack Dangerment on how Giz is creating a more intelligent world and for the first time the conference opening was open to every ticket holder expo and conference starting as one. After the conference, we met EZRI founder Jack Dangererman on the expo floor and sat down with him to talk about what's next for the industry and what is truly worth dedicating yourself to into today's world. >> I don't know an answer to that, but I'll simply share what I did. I found something that I really like to do and uh I just followed it. I didn't read it out of a book. I didn't take a class in it. I just started playing around and I got more and more excited because I could see it and its potential. But more importantly, I just like doing it. So my advice to young people is is don't listen to anybody. Just do things that if you want to play music, do music. If you want to go uh, you know, drive a truck, drive a truck. Don't listen so much to what people tell you you need to do. Follow what you really like to do. That's what I did. And it just got better and better. >> Two keynotes, one direction from data that describes the world to systems that act on it. Trimble's Aviad Almogore traced the closed loop from official data to systems of agents. >> Well, I think that AI is transforming the geospacecial industry from one that capture and records data to one that reasons about the world and act on it. That's the main message. >> Hexagon CTO Burkhard Burkham called it the age of intelligence where geo data becomes geospatial innovation. >> AI and specifically spatial AI needs to be grounded in reality and for this we need precise measurements and this is something our community our profession as geodicists surveyors and metrology specialists can deliver. And here in the Indev studio in hall C5, we meet really remarkable and so interesting guests. So today and here are the highlights of this day. >> Very first thing that stands out to me different than what we've seen in the states is so many companies that are coming in from other countries that we've actually never even seen in the states. >> We see the um geospatial world and the engineering world. So GIS and BIM are combining. When we did the first tour this morning around Intero and talked to uh several exhibitors, the general message was help us making our data AI ready. Day one is a rep. The next day, the press conference, the science and geo innovation award, and the question of what happens when digital twins start to decide themselves. That's in the GeoTV news the next day. See you then.
