Geovis, a Chinese leader in the field of digital earth, secured agreements to establish four subsidiaries in the Hefei National High-Tech Industry Development Zone on Feb 28.

The signing ceremony took place in the Hefei high-tech zone, which is located in Hefei, the capital of East China's Anhui province, during the Aerospace Information and Digital Earth Innovation Summit.

Geovis' vice president, Shao Zongyou, stated that the company will actively promote the development of its four subsidiaries in Hefei and collaborate with partners to ensure the aerospace information sector in Anhui has a bright future.

Geovis will develop digital earth products with international competitiveness based on its own software and IT infrastructure, according to Shao, and provide services to the government, businesses, and the general public.

In Hefei, Geovis' aerospace big data processing technology will also be used in agriculture, forestry, and water conservation.

Last year, Geovis opened its Digital Earth Global Headquarters in the Hefei high-tech zone.

Hefei is investing heavily in the aerospace information industry, with the goal of becoming a market leader in this promising and competitive field. A slew of large aerospace projects have sprouted in Hefei, especially in the Hefei high-tech zone, after aerospace technology was officially included in Anhui's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) last year.
