Geospatial intelligence has become a cornerstone of modern industries, transforming resource management, infrastructure planning, and
policy-making. Advancements in frontier technologies and space sciences are generating vast spatial and positioning data, while deep learning
and automation are unlocking new possibilities for governance, business, and sustainability.
As the world accelerates efforts toward achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, geospatial intelligence-powered by AI and digital
twins-is shaping solutions for climate resilience, efficient governance, and socio-economic progress. This evolution calls for cross-disciplinary
collaboration, integrating geoinformatics into diverse fields to drive innovation and tangible global impact.
We invite you to actively participate, share your expertise, and be part of this pioneering initiative!
