The Geo Connect Asia Show and Conference has scaled up from its launch in 2020 to become the regional meeting place for the fast expanding geospatial, positioning, digital construction and remote sensing markets.
With the growing application of geospatial based knowhow in decision-making across government, enterprise and non-profit the annual event comprises a show with a mix of thought leadership and technical platforms.
Last year’s event attracted more than 100 leading companies and 2494 visitors. Its co-location with Drones & Uncrewed Asia both presents the global UAV industries, but also addresses the importance of data acquisition and analytics in critical and emerging vertical markets.
Digital Construction Asia adds particular focus on the development of one of the region’s largest industries.
The addition of Marine & Hydro Asia expands the reach into the region’s hydro-marine data markets, which are so critical to the economy and security of Southeast Asia.
