Topic of speech
The need for location intelligence
Location, location, location. Why is it important? Because everything happens somewhere. Without incorporating the location dimension you are not seeing the whole picture. You need to have the best valid data sources that describe all aspects of the problem you are trying to solve.
People movement is one of the newest data sources in the field of location intelligence. Almost everyone has their mobile phone with them at all times and therefore our phones are the best IoT devices to be used to understand human behavior and movement. This anonymized and aggregated insights is used for example in urban planning, events & tourism, traffic planning and retail & real estate.
