 Leading Government-Academia-Industry collaboration
Either can lead, depends on budget commitment
 Ways for industry to engage with academia
idea/hackathons, publish, certification, summer-of-research
for young professionals, more summer-of-code for students
 Steps required to change mindset?
Increase awareness of Open Source Licenses. Open Source
can be commercial, Proprietary can gain with Open Source
software
 Government-Academia-Industry collaboration success
stories?
OSGeo Software projects, GeoForAll, UN-OpenGIS.
Thank You!
