geoProRegio is repositioning itself
The geoProRegio AG is to become a competence center for services in the field of geoinformatics. As of April 2021, the platform for geographic information services is to appear on the market as a newly established company with its own staff.
The five Aargauer Stadtwerke, which have merged to form geoProRegio, have decided on a new ownership strategy. It provides for a restructuring of the geoinformatics service. The merger of the respective independent platforms is to create a company of its own, in which, however, only four shareholders will participate – Regionalwerke Baden, StWZ Energie AG, SWL Energie AG and TBS Strom AG. Eniwa is leaving and, according to a press release , decided for strategic reasons to continue its existing platform for geographic information services in the medium term and to sell its stake in geoProRegio AG.
In the new structure, not only the technical systems, but also the customer portfolios as well as the 30 or so employees from the GIS departments of the four partners will be transferred to the company. The seat of geoProRegio AG remains in Baden.
The managing director of the geographic information service provider is Cédric Aubert. The physicist has many years of experience in data management, research, the energy industry and the financial sector. He is fascinated by the challenge of “getting more out of geospatial data”. “The market potential in the field of geographic information services is great. With the new company, we are well prepared for the future and can offer our customers innovative and progressive geographic information solutions, ”Cédric Aubert is quoted in the press release.
