SDIs are being developed to help address environmental concerns, disaster preparedness and emergency responsiveness there are other possibilities for benefiting from SDIs, namely regional competitiveness. This could mean public sector organisations who are currently experiencing budget cuts across the board could use activities relating to geospatial data to minimise budget cuts or maintain existing budget levels. This is because their activities provide a positive contribution to the regional economy, especially where the overriding objective is to build a knowledge economy.

If all the world's best GIS-minds were brought together and put in a room (with plenty of CocaCola and pizza supply), what could happen? Could they construct 'a pyramid with a pumping heart on the moon'? Could they construct something that would stand for another 5000 years (as the pyramids)? Could they construct something that definitely would change the direction of man's life (in a positive sense like e.g. the alphabet)? Could they construct something mind-blowing like bringing man onto the moon?

“Business-as-usual” will no longer work if America is to continue its leadership on the world stage. The sweeping effects of the recession we’ve experienced have made this very clear. We need green innovation, state-of-the-art clean energy technologies, and a commitment to change. By pushing these priorities to the forefront we will create a stronger economy, achieve greater energy independence, ensure a healthier environment, and attain a more sustainable future.
