Michael Bauer International GmbH (MBI), a leading provider of geospatial and market data, is proud to announce the extension of its strategic partnership with HERE Technologies through the year 2030. This marks a continued commitment to a collaboration that has flourished over the past 15 years and now sets the stage for an even stronger and more innovative future.
