Business Intelligence Summit

Theme: Harnessing Location Intelligence for Innovation and Business Growth

25 APRIL 2025 Madrid Marriott Auditorium Hall - Bonn

Concept Note

Location Intelligence (LI) is transforming the retail and financial services sectors, driving innovation, operational efficiency, and customer engagement. By integrating geospatial data with advanced analytics, LI empowers businesses to optimize e-retail delivery and streamline supply chains. In retail, it enables smarter store placements, personalized marketing, and enhanced omnichannel strategies, while in financial services, it improves branch optimization, risk management, and fraud detection.

Spatial computing further empowers organizations by integrating real-time geospatial data with AI and computational models, unlocking new insights into operational management, predictive analysis, and market opportunities. Immersive AR and VR experiences reshape customer interactions, offering tailored experiences in both retail and BFSI sectors. Additionally, AI/ML applications enhance supply chain management, improving traceability and decision-making.

Sustainability is another key area, as businesses incorporate green and sustainable finance practices, leveraging location data to assess environmental impact. LI also revolutionizes marketing and advertising strategies, enabling personalized geo-targeting and more effective campaigns.

In an increasingly data-driven world, LI helps businesses navigate the complexities of omnichannel success while elevating customer experience through interactive 3D environments. By leveraging these technologies, organizations can innovate, stay competitive, and ensure long-term growth across industries like retail and financial services.

Session 3: The Future of Space-Based Technologies in Insurance

Session Highlight

Space-based technologies are revolutionizing the insurance, banking, and retail sectors by improving risk assessment, claims management, and customer service. In insurance, satellites provide high-resolution imagery for property assessments and disaster risk identification, enabling insurers to adjust premiums based on real-time data. GNSS technology helps track assets and vehicles, reducing premiums while streamlining claims. Earth observation satellites aid in disaster prediction, enhancing preparedness and accelerating claims processes. For banking, satellite data informs credit risk assessments and market analysis, while in retail, it enables supply chain monitoring and logistics optimization, improving customer experience and operational efficiency across industries.
  • Satellites provide real-time imagery to assess natural disaster risks and adjust insurance premiums accordingly.
  • Earth observation satellites offer predictive data to estimate damages and improve disaster preparedness.
  • GNSS technology helps insurers track assets and assess risks, reducing premiums and streamlining claims.
  • Satellite imagery verifies claims and prevents fraud by confirming asset locations and damage authenticity.
