This document summarizes a presentation given at the Geospatial World Forum 2016 about the ENERGIC-OD project. The ENERGIC-OD project aims to build a unified architecture for accessing geospatial data across Europe by developing virtual hubs that ensure compliance with INSPIRE and Copernicus standards. It brings together 15 partners from 6 European nations. The presentation included an introduction to the project, a group exercise where participants discussed geospatial data needs, limitations, and opportunities, and a planned discussion of the exercise results. The overall goal of the project is to improve interoperability, stimulate innovation and business using open geospatial data.

Boat 1 Describe your needs in the geospatial data access space, and
reflect on what they will be (how will they change) in 5 years’
time.
Boat 2 Highlight main limitations, risks and barriers to generating
value from geospatial data.
Boat 3 What are the IT and business opportunities that can be
exploited by firms of all sizes throughout Europe?
