In the second presentation session, the National Geographic Information Service presented the status of the establishment of the spatial information DATA of the National Geographic Information Service for the realization of digital twin land, future directions, and changes in the role of surveying and strategies for smart construction.

Lastly, the Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute announced the possibility of using the 'space information convergence for digital twins' which can be used by various institutions through the production of customized spatial information.

After the announcement, Park Jong-hyun, vice chairman of the Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, had a meeting with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Seoul City, academia, industry, and media to get opinions on various fields about the development direction of the national satellite and digital twin land.

"In order to realize digital twin land, we will implement a ubiquitous space DATA service environment that can access spatial information anytime and anywhere through the establishment and standardization of space DATA. In addition, we will strengthen the development of technology for user-friendly image service based on the successful launch of the national satellite and precise satellite image, we will try our best to develop it."
