On the afternoon of September 15, 2025, the 2025 SuperMap Developer Conference opened in Beijing under the theme "Spatial Intelligence, AI Reshaping." This year's conference upholds the philosophy of "Developers for Developers," focusing on "new development, new experiences, and new applications" to help developers drive business innovation through spatial intelligence technology. The two-and-a-half-day conference will continue until September 17th.
The first day adopted a combined online and offline format, featuring keynote presentations, launch ceremonies, and "Developer Stories" sessions. Senior developers and partners from different eras and fields were specially invited to share their experiences. The opening day was hosted by Liu Hongkai, Chief Brand Officer of SuperMap Software Group.
**Song Guanfu's "Three Recommendations" for Developers**
Facing the tide of AI transformation, Song Guanfu, Chairman of SuperMap Software, shared three recommendations with developers in his opening address: First, "embrace intelligent agent technology" by combining business requirements to build spatial intelligent agents for various industries; Second, "integrate remote sensing with GIS" by developing integrated systems covering geometric processing of remote sensing data, remote sensing interpretation, and remote sensing image applications; Third, "seize the opportunity of domestic products for domestic use" by reconstructing application products and solutions based on domestic computer equipment, operating systems, databases, middleware, and GIS software platforms as early as possible to establish scarce competitive advantages.
He encouraged developers to maintain their passion for exploration, the power of learning, and an open mindset. SuperMap is willing to work alongside everyone to deeply integrate spatial intelligence software technology into all industries, continuously injecting innovative momentum into the construction of Digital China.
**From Technology to Applications: SuperMap Development Capabilities Revealed**
As the digital and intelligent foundation for application development, SuperMap continues to provide powerful support and innovative momentum for developers and digital transformation across industries with comprehensive and robust capabilities. What new tools and functions does the newly released SuperMap GIS 2025 product system offer? What new progress has been made in the research and application of spatial intelligent agents? SuperMap experts and user representatives decoded these questions through four exciting presentations.
Hu Zhongnan, Chief Engineer and President of Platform Product Line at SuperMap Software Group, and Chen Yong, Vice President of Platform Product Line, jointly presented "Comprehensive Analysis of SuperMap GIS 2025 Development Capabilities." They systematically introduced SuperMap GIS 2025's four major technical application development capabilities, AI-empowered GIS development, and technical development system, while providing in-depth interpretations of multiple core products including large-scale full-component GIS software development platforms and cross-platform 2D/3D integrated desktop GIS software platforms.
Luo Qiang, Senior Director of Spatial Intelligence Agents for SuperMap Software Platform Product Line, demonstrated the application scenarios and capabilities of three types of intelligent agents - knowledge Q&A, workflow-based, and autonomous planning - through his presentation "SuperMap AgentX Server: A Spatial Intelligence Agent Platform for Three-Level Intelligent Collaboration," and introduced the SuperMap AgentX solution.
Yang Jinglin, Senior Engineer at the Digital Engineering Research Center of China Railway Engineering Design and Consulting Group Co., Ltd., presented "Research and Application of Railway Engineering Digital Intelligence Technology," introducing the application exploration of SuperMap's spatial intelligence agent solution in engineering design.
**Co-creating Industry Value: Joint Solutions Unlock New Scenarios**
The innovative implementation of GIS technology to truly serve practical applications across industries requires deep insights into vertical domain requirements and scenario experience support from developers in various industries. At the conference, SuperMap Software held solution launch ceremonies with two organizations:
SuperMap Software and Beijing Shanwei Technology jointly launched the "GIS Data Rapid Production and Update Joint Solution," creating a technologically advanced, ready-to-use, and highly collaborative "GIS Capability Center"; SuperMap Software and Beijing Grid World Software released the "Geological Modeling and Multi-terminal GIS Application Joint Solution," achieving comprehensive coverage of geoscience business scenarios and providing one-stop solutions for geological surveys, geological disaster prevention, and other geoscience-related fields.
Such strong partnerships and ecosystem-building initiatives will become an important pathway for SuperMap to continue collaborating with more partners and jointly promote the deep application of GIS technology in various industries.
**Remembering the Past and Discussing New Journeys: Industry Pioneers Share Exemplary Strength**
The conference specially featured a "Developer Stories" session, where four GIS developers from different eras reviewed their experiences and discussed how GIS developers should navigate cycles when facing new challenges.
Ren Fuhu, Director of the Earth and Space Technology Research Institute at Shanghai Lingang Peking University International Center for Scientific and Technological Innovation, as the founder of China's first GIS software, reviewed five stages of his research and professional career, emphasizing the early development process and providing valuable experience for developers present.
Song Guanfu, Chairman of SuperMap Software, shared his growth journey from technology enthusiast to industry leader, systematically introducing SuperMap GIS's technological breakthroughs and industrialization process at various development stages, encouraging developers to actively respond to the AI technology wave and persist in doing "difficult but right things."
Shen Yu, Senior Vice President of Surveying and Mapping Co., Ltd., combined the cooperation experience between Surveying and Mapping Co., Ltd. and SuperMap to share insights on "application technology development" and "development with research characteristics," suggesting that developers view development platforms and programming languages as important tools supporting business innovation.
Fan Dongliang, Director of Product Management and R&D System at Hytera Communications Corporation Limited, shared the collaboration journey with SuperMap, highlighting the practical experience of collaborative problem-solving and comprehensive cooperation between both parties in project advancement to jointly address multiple technical challenges.
After the "Developer Stories" session concluded, the online live stream ended simultaneously, while the offline venue proceeded to a closed-door "Developer Voices" meeting session, where SuperMap experts answered questions raised by developers face-to-face.
