Geospatial infrastructure is a fundamental pillar of modern governance, economic planning, and security strategies. Under the theme “Geospatial Infrastructure: Advancing National & Regional Geospatial Ecosystems”, the GeoGov Middle East Summit 2025 highlights the growing importance of geospatial data, technologies, and frameworks as nations across the Middle East accelerate their digital transformation.
The summit is a strategic initiative designed to strengthen and advance the geospatial ecosystem in the region. It serves as a unique high-level platform, creating a confluence of G2G (government-to-government) and G2B (government-to-business) dialogues. Bringing together leaders, policymakers, industry innovators, and academic experts, the event explores how geospatial knowledge infrastructure, spatial computing, and digital twin technologies are driving economic growth, enhancing resilience, and improving governance efficiency across the Middle East.
