What is ASIBA?
The Australian Spatial Industry Business Association (ASIBA) represents industry interests on issues specific to spatial business – broadly, government relations and industry development. Since its emergence in July 2001, ASIBA has moved quickly to establish its credentials at both state and federal levels. It has assumed a significant role in public policy debate, enhanced the profile of the industry, identified opportunities for growth, and provided direct financial benefits to members.
What are ASIBA’s core values?
Uniting the business community – A strong and united business community achieves much greater success than individual members can ever achieve on their own.
Leading the way in the information age – Our members embrace innovation, seize opportunities and push forward the boundaries of capability and knowledge in our field.
Growing the spatial information industry – Our members grow personally, professionally and commercially in a business environment of ever-expanding opportunity.
Your industry voice
Spatial information is vital to business, government and community services. Our airports need spatial information to get planes off the ground. Our defence forces need it to protect national security. And our emergency services need it during crises such as bushfires. Not only is it important, but demands are growing. Users of spatial information today want detailed, accurate data available across the enterprise in real time to add value to analysis and decision making.
But how many people outside our industry realise this?
We must come together with a unified voice to influence and be involved in government processes. We need to raise the profile of the spatial information industry in government and the general community. And we should work together to take advantage of business opportunities and to advance the industry.
ASIBA is your voice.
