From one event to the next! Just days after HERE Directions in Munich, our next stop took us across the Atlantic to New York for ! 🗽

Our Carina Ziegelmueller represented MBI at CARTO’s Spatial Data Science Conference, bringing home fresh perspectives.

From agentic AI and spatial intelligence to real-world use cases, one message stood out: Technology creates opportunities, but it takes the right data, context and partnerships to turn them into meaningful impact.

As a long-standing CARTO partner, we’re excited to see how spatial analytics and AI continue to evolve and shape better business decisions.

A big thank you to CARTO for bringing the community together and creating space for inspiring conversations!

What happens behind the wheel when no one is watching? For shared mobility operators, understanding how vehicles are driven is key to protecting fleets, reducing costs and improving operations. But turning raw GPS data into reliable insights takes more than just tracking speed.

Our HERE Technologies Solution Partner INVERS is tackling this challenge with its Driving Analysis solution. By combining vehicle data with HERE Route Matching and precise road and speed limit information, licensed through MBI, INVERS helps mobility operators reliably detect speeding events, identify risky driving behavior and take proactive action.

Our latest partner story explores how INVERS, HERE Technologies and MBI work together to turn location data into actionable fleet intelligence. Read the full story: https://www.mbi-geodata.com/en/2026/10/13/partner-story-invers/

Want to explore the future of connected mobility further? On Thursday, our Carina Ziegelmueller will join Niklas Kilian, Head of Product at INVERS, for a panel discussion on how connected mobility services, geospatial analytics and sustainability intelligence can shape better transport experiences at in Munich.

We look forward to continuing the conversation in Munich!

What makes a map truly valuable?

As AI, automation and real-time data transform how maps are created and updated, one thing remains essential: reliable mapmaking.

Combining advanced technology with trusted data and mapmaking expertise helps turn constantly changing information into an accurate representation of the real world – the foundation for navigation, mobility and countless location-based applications.

Discover how mapmaking is evolving in HERE Technologies’ latest article: https://www.here.com/learn/blog/the-future-of-maps-is-mapmaking

In a rapidly changing world, the ability to continuously update, enrich and adapt maps is becoming a key competitive advantage.

Two locations may sit within the same geographic area, yet the purchasing power surrounding them can look very different. For decisions such as site selection, catchment analysis or network planning, seeing these local variations can make a significant difference.

That’s why MBI Purchasing Power Data is now available at grid and H3 hexagon level, adding a new level of spatial detail to our established postal, administrative and micro geographies.

With resolutions down to 100 × 100 m, organizations can analyze market potential at a highly granular level and choose the geographic framework that best fits their use case.

Our latest blog takes a closer look at how grid-based and H3 Purchasing Power Data can complement established geographic boundaries, including an example of purchasing power at hexagon-grid level across Madrid.

AI is becoming increasingly capable of interpreting the physical world, but can it truly understand it?

From road signs and lane markings to aerial imagery and vehicle sensor data, AI can process more real-world signals than ever before. But turning those signals into reliable intelligence requires context. And that’s where accurate, up-to-date maps come in.

The real world is constantly changing. Roads are updated, construction zones appear and disappear, and new information emerges every day. The challenge is not only detecting these changes, but distinguishing meaningful updates from temporary or unreliable signals.

In its latest article, HERE Technologies explores how AI, trusted location data and advanced mapmaking work together to create an accurate representation of the real world – providing the context AI systems need to make better location-aware decisions.

Read the full article: https://www.here.com/learn/blog/why-ai-needs-a-map-of-the-real-world

AI systems can now recognize more of the world than ever before. But to act reliably in it, they need a trusted map of reality.

What if the biggest threat to your critical infrastructure isn’t at your own site, but hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away?

Political instability, conflicts, sabotage or dependencies on critical suppliers can quickly turn into operational disruptions. Under the CER Directive, organizations need to look beyond their immediate surroundings and systematically assess the risks that could affect the continuity of essential services.

But doing that requires more than a list of potential threats. It requires a consistent understanding of where risks exist, how severe they are and how they develop over time.

With CONIAS Risk Intelligence, MBI provides political risk data that helps organizations:

🌍 Identify and compare risks across countries and subnational regions
📍 Assess the exposure of locations, infrastructure and suppliers
📈 Monitor political and security risks over time
📄 Create standardized Country CER Reports as a basis for risk assessments and documentation
🛡️ Build resilience measures on transparent, evidence-based risk information

Learn how MBI supports organizations in translating CER requirements into structured risk assessments and resilience planning: https://www.mbi-geodata.com/en/political-risk-index/data-and-solutions-for-cer-directive/
