On November 17, we will talk about the most innovative geospatial technologies to simplify work and help sustainable development
Geographical culture and its avant-garde tools to facilitate the life and work of institutions, associations, companies, but also to make a contribution to achieving the objectives of sustainable development. This will be discussed in the 2021 edition of GIS day, the world event that will also take place in Perugia on November 17th next with a webinar that will feature national level personalities but also schools and realities of Umbrian civil society. Also this year there will be room for insights and debates on the importance of GIS (Geographic Information System) in the analysis, visualization and understanding of geospatial data and in the knowledge of the territory.
States General of Innovation is one of the sponsors of the event, with Asvis, the Municipality of Perugia, Arpa Umbria, the Ciuffelli Institute – Einaudi and the Italian Geographical Society.

Born over 20 years ago thanks to the initiative of the founder of Esri, the reference company in geospatial solutions at an international level, GISday is today a global event through which it is highlighted how geography and GIS applications are able to the difference in society, in the management of the public good and in supporting the decision-making processes of companies. GISday is an opportunity for institutions and organizations to share their results and show the benefits of geographical technologies.
The Umbrian event is organized by gisAction, a division of the Umbrian company TeamDev dedicated to the development of Geographic Information Systems for the benefit of Sustainable Development players, in collaboration with the Umbria Region – Hydrogeological, Hydraulic and Seismic Risk Service, Soil Protection, which has been using GIS for land management for years. The 2021 edition will deal with a highly topical and interesting topic: “GIS and data sharing in the time of the pandemic”. As in previous editions, the day will see the participation of public bodies, NGOs, associations, the non-profit world, which in various ways have known the potential of GIS to support their activities, while the format adopted will be an absolute novelty, with the division of the event into three thematic sessions: GIS and its innovations in a changing society; The importance of data sharing in today's context; GIS in society: SDGs and citizen protagonism in a context disrupted by Covid.
Debates, experiences and success stories within a global event that arrived in Umbria thanks to TeamDev, which has been organizing it through its gisAction brand for the past 10 years, as recalled by Antonio Natale, GIS Manager of the Perugian company : “We are particularly happy to celebrate GISday again this year and help turn the spotlight on the importance of using geospatial technologies to address the problems of our society. We will use GISday to reflect on some fundamental points: land management and sustainable development, and we will do so thanks to the contributions of very important guests.”
