BlackBridge is focused on providing end to end solutions across the geospatial value chain. BlackBridge imaging solutions are the only reliable source of high-resolution satellite imagery that provides complete datasets to programs requiring imagery over entire countries or large areas (e.g. REDD+ MRV, Rural Environmental Cadastre (CAR) in Brazil) in short time frames and on a regular basis. The RapidEye Persistent Change Monitoring solution is a new approach to change detection that provides accurate information about where changes occur, reducing the amount of time and resources needed to do cartographic updates or just detect changes. BlackBridge Monitoring Programs present a new approach to access, use and exploit high resolution imagery. |

DAI’s are leaders in the development and application of low cost approaches to large scale LTR and completed the entire territory of Rwanda, more than 10 million parcels, in less than five years. This was completed at an average cost of USD $6 per parcel. Their success is not owed to using the latest technology, but to using appropriate technology, adapted to the particular circumstances and ensuring maximum local participation, and extensive outreach and public engagement. Their extensive LTR experience in Sub-Saharan Africa has lead to field-based technologies that are simple, easy for people to comprehend, have acceptable accuracy and are both inexpensive and practical. Having successfully applied this approach in Rwanda, they are now applying an adapted approach in Ethiopia, where DAI will register 14 million parcels in 5 years at an anticipated average cost per parcel of approximately USD $5. |

Esri inspires and enables people to positively impact the future through a deeper, geographic understanding of the changing world around them. Esri's innovative approach to technology and open data can help improve land governance. Land administration agencies must manage their land information assets efficiently and effectively by moving from legacy "silo" workflows to an enterprise solution. The Esri approach enables this by putting the geodatabase at the heart of a cadastral enterprise transactional workflow. |

Managing information about land is a complex, social process involving various social groups -- not just government. Cloudant is the first product to deliver the full functionality of a geospatial information system in a NoSQL, non-relational database. Cloudant's focus on being the easiest to use database for web developers building mobile apps fits well with the information ecosystem of land management. Also, our ability to go offline and have full functionality available is a great fit for areas of the world with limited and/or sporadic internet connectivity. |

LAND INFO Worldwide Mapping, LLC remote sensing solutions combine the global reach of satellite imagery with advanced processing methods and software technologies to improve mapping results in challenging project locations. Map data sets such as ortho mosaics, land-use/cover, urban sprawl change detection, building foot-prints and 3D urban building models can be created faster and less expensive vs. traditional methods. New technologies such as Object Based Image Analysis improve the mapping results of data sets often needed to support World Bank projects, such as building foot-prints, land-use and urban sprawl change detection. These new technologies also offer significant cost-savings and turn-around time improvements over traditional methods. LAND INFO will show global examples including Tanzania, Afghanistan, India and other locations. |

By bringing land information together in one place, the Land Portal is able to actively address gaps in information, while providing a range of ways for the information to be accessed, shared and reused. This will increase the effective use of information and ultimately will lead to better decision making on land governance. The new Land Portal is a pioneering hub for ‘linked open data’ on land - non-proprietary data that uses semantic tools to share and connect data, information and knowledge. This enables the Land Portal to publish structured data in machine readable, standardised formats under open licenses that can be reused by anyone. |

GeoQ is hosted on the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s GitHub repository, a ground-breaking initiative to share tools and techniques with the Geographic Information Systems community as well as other organizations around the world. By distributing this system as an open source project, NGA has provided a low cost tool for organizing and managing relief activities during a time of crisis. The benefits of managing all aspects of a crisis event, such as rescue teams, law-enforcement personnel and utility crews provide immediate impact to the affected areas, allowing for relief activities to proceed much sooner and communities to quickly return to normal. |

Achieving food security for all is at the heart of FAO's efforts – to make sure people have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active, healthy lives.FAO’s latest product is Open Tenure, software using mobile devices for the crowd sourced recording of tenure rights by citizens and communities. Coupled with Open Tenure is the web based Community Server where Open Tenure recorded tenure rights are displayed, subjected to community moderation and then endorsed as recognized by the community. The SOLA family of software from FAO provides affordable, customizable, scalable, LADM compliant, “open data” ready solutions incorporating international good practice that provide the means to enhance tenure security. This software has been especially designed to implement much of the Voluntary Guidelines for Responsible Governance of Tenure (VGGT). |

USAID has developed two innovative products that use mobile technology. The Mobile Application to Strengthen Tenure (MAST) product uses an open source platform to gather land rights information in a participatory manner. This flexible, accessible approach will enable Tanzanian villagers to acquire land use certificates (CCROs) in a timely, less costly manner. The Land Potential Knowledge System (LandPKS) also uses a low-cost, open source platform to increase knowledge of land’s potential which will improve land use decision making and management and connect farmers, pastoralists and other producers with critically important, but hard-to-access local knowledge and scientific information about soil quality and conditions. |
