Micware and ESRI Japan Form Business Alliance on Spatial Data Infrastructure

Micware has entered into a business alliance with ESRI Japan to develop and commercialize spatial information infrastructure that can continuously capture and analyze changes in the physical world, with applications spanning cities, mobility, roads, and infrastructure. Under the agreement, Micware will provide technology that collects location and video data, while ESRI Japan will use its ArcGIS platform to organize, display, and analyze the information. The two companies will also work on digital models of cities and solutions that use data from vehicles to monitor road conditions, traffic, and surrounding areas. The partnership is part of Micware's DynaPlanet-PF spatial intelligence strategy, and Micware established Micware Spacia on September 1 to expand its spatial intelligence business. No financial terms, contract value, revenue contribution, or earnings impact was disclosed, and ESRI Japan, which participated in Micware's May 14 IPO and acquired Micware's American depositary shares, did not disclose the value of that investment.
