2. What is GeoIT?
A geographic information system (GIS) captures, stores,
75-80%
analyzes, manages, and presents data that refers to or is
linked to location.
In the strictest sense, the term describes any information
system that integrates, stores, edits, analyzes, shares, and
displays geographic information. In a more generic
sense, GIS applications are tools that allow users to
create interactive queries (user created searches),
analyze spatial information, edit data, maps, and
present the results of all these operations. Geographic
information science is the science underlying the
geographic concepts, applications and systems, taught in
degree and GIS Certificate programs at many
universities

14. What is FPX?
The business idea for FPX is, in interaction with our
stakeholders and their networks, to offer services to all
operators using Geographical Information to develop user-
friendly products and services to make safe decisions. FPX is
thus strengthening the competitiveness of the companies
that are related to the Swedish GI cluster and generating
(economic) growth - regionally, nationally and globally by:
• Committing to a single market focus and provide process
support and business development for new products and
services.
• Geographically and demographically broaden their natural
home market and thereby allow for internationalization.
• Provide methods and services for the development of
cluster members.

15. What is FPX?
FPX has over the last 5 years had an annual output of:
