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.

Commenting on the growing regional reach of Geo Connect Asia, Rupert Owen, Co founder of Geo Connect Asia says ‘’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. 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.’’ Register for the conference pass to gain access to valuable industry insights.
