We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Estonia on the opening of the new Estonian Embassy in Singapore and the co-located Estonian Business Hub – serving as gateways to deepening trade and investment ties between our two countries.

Indeed, both countries have much in common as small States who have embraced the power of technology. And there are certainly promising areas to foster further collaboration.

Singapore Land Authority - SLA recently signed an MOU with the Estonian Land Board, to cross-share expertise and capability building in to develop creative, citizen-centric solutions that will advance each nation’s capabilities in business productivity, and environmental sustainability, powered through best practices in geodesy, precise positioning infrastructure, 3D Mapping, Remote Sensing, AI, machine learning, and data interoperability.

It is an exciting time indeed to watch this space for both countries!

We would like to congratulate both of our Merit award winning teams: Team FoUr from the National University of Singapore and Team Lakapati from Bicol University in the Philippines for their inspiring projects!

Team FoUr's project, forU, is a travel app that encourages responsible and sustainable tourism practices, by maximising travel routes. This project is an excellent example of how technology can be used to promote positive change and encourage individuals to make responsible choices that benefit both the environment and local communities.

Team Lakapati's project focuses on the image visualization of premature land conversion of rice lands in Matnog, Sorsogon, Philippines. This project aims to raise awareness about the environmental impacts of land conversion and the importance of preserving rice lands for food security and sustainability.

Both FoUr and Lakapati's projects are incredibly impactful and showcase the potential of technology to promote sustainability and environmental conservation. Congratulations to both teams on their outstanding work, and we wish them continued success in their efforts to make a positive impact on the world.

Congratulations to both Team HYPEBOIZ from the University of the Philippines Diliman and Team ArtemiS from the University of Indonesia (UI) on achieving the Excellence award for their outstanding projects!

Team HYPEBOIZ's project, the PWDe Map, is an integrated mobile application designed to provide Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in the Philippines with an inclusive and equitable experience when traveling. This project is a remarkable step towards achieving inclusivity and accessibility for PWDs in the Philippines.

Team ArtemiS's project, the gamification of the Indonesian Standard Map, is a unique approach to promoting digital tourism and improving mental maps of Indonesia. This project aligns with the sustainable development goals of ASEAN and showcases the potential of technology to promote tourism and cultural exchange.

Once again, congratulations to both teams for their excellent work, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact these projects will have in their respective countries and beyond.

We would like to congratulate our Distinction Category winning teams of ASEAN Geospatial Challenge 2023: Team JIO-Spatial from Singapore Management University, Singapore and Team Ganesha Jogja from Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia.

Let's take a look at their projects:

Project JIOHelp by Team JIO-Spatial hopes to bridge the gap to work towards a sustainable community by connecting volunteers & non-profits organisations based on location, availability, and nature of assistance.

Project ASRI by Team Ganesha Jogja is a mobile application which uses remote sensing & machine learning to prioritize irrigation development, providing a benchmark for effective agricultural policies and increasing investment opportunities.

It is heartening to see the teams putting in their time and efforts to develop meaningful proposals by making use of geospatial technology and information.

Once again, congratulations to Team JIO-Spatial and Team Ganesha Jogja!
