In line with the preparatory actions related to the EUROGI Industry Day (will be held later this year), with the helpful assistance of Mr. Jiri Hiess, President of CAGI a successful link has been established between Ms. Dagmar Kusendova, Chair of SAGI, the National GI Association in the Slovak Republic and HUNAGI's SG. Taking the liberty based on the request of Prof. Mauro Salvemini, President of EUROGI to propose some entities from the EU12 New Members, the Hungarian member of EUROGI ExCom recommended SAGI to be invited for the EUROGI event.
Although the Industry Day is now postponed, recent communication between HUNAGI and SAGI is promising and paves also the way toward a closer collaboration of the NGIAs of the Visegrad subregion in the field of GI&GIS. Initiated by Jiri Hiess and seconded by HUNAGI, also a Summit Think Tank is foreseen.
