OGC and T-REX partner to bring Geospatial Innovation and Standards to St. Louis

T-REX operates the Geospatial Innovation Center (“Geosaurus”) on the 4th floor of its facility in downtown St. Louis, MO. T-REX’s Geospatial Innovation Center is an inclusive community space for St. Louis' high-tech, high-growth geospatial community. The innovation center has three primary objectives: workforce development; creating connections; and fostering innovation and entrepreneurship.

This MoU intends to strengthen and broaden the significant positive collaboration that already exists between OGC and T-REX. Under the MoU, OGC will be granted space within Geosaurus that will be used to conduct research and development, OGC Standards Workshops, OGC Innovation Activities, connect with T-REX Geospatial start-ups, and more. OGC’s presence in Geosaurus will encourage the use of OGC Standards, Best Practices, and OGC’s Innovation Program by start-ups located in this important geospatial region.

Joint bi-annual seminars, symposia, conferences, workshops, and collaborative R&D initiatives conducted with T-REX and their incubated companies will help drive the missions of both organizations. Additionally, members of T-REX’s incubation program will be eligible for a 10% discount on the cost of OGC Membership.
