The fifth edition of Geo Connect Asia (GCA) celebrates the mainstreaming of geospatial solutions across government, enterprise and non-profit, with a record number of participants on the show and supporting conferences.
Themed ‘Geospatial driven impacts: underground, land and sea to sky’, GCA 2025 will be held on 9-10 April at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore. The show will be co-located with Digital Construction Asia, Drones & Uncrewed Asia and Marine & Hydro Asia.
GCA 2025 is expected to attract more than 120 companies and 3,000 visitors and delegates. The growing influence of AI, robotics, data interoperability and security across industries will be the main theme of the Geo Autonomy Summit (formerly Geo Connect Asia Conference).
Leading speakers include: Thomson Lai, managing director for digital, AECOM; Will Cavendish, global digital services leader, Arup; Philipp Kandal, CTO, Grab; David Foo, assistant chief executive (operations and ops-tech) / chief data officer, Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA); and Salote Viti, chairwoman, Pacific GIS & Remote Sensing Council.
Other conferences include the return of Digital Underground Connect and the respective launches of the Digital Construction Asia Forum and APAC Earth Observation Forum. GCA is organised by Montgomery Events Asia and supported by the Singapore Land Authority (SLA). The speakers and programmes can be viewed here.
The growing regional impact of the event is reflected by group pavilion support from Indonesia, Sabah, Singapore and Thailand. The organisers are also looking to increase regional attendance beyond 40% of the total, up from 32.5% in 2024.
‘’We are delighted to expand the footprint of the region’s geospatial knowledge base and share common experiences. The vulnerability of ASEAN countries to climate-induced challenges, the dynamics of urbanisation and the need to actively manage limited resources demands response from planners, operators and industry specialists,” said Rupert Owen, co-founder of Geo Connect Asia.
“Supported by the latest geospatial solutions, there is a growing belief in technology-enhanced answers to some of the most pressing challenges. Sharing these experiences is the focus of Geo Connect Asia as the regional community hub.”
