As the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region undergoes a rapid era of smart city development, digital transformation, and infrastructure modernization, the 4th MENA Geospatial & Space Technology Forum stands as the region's pioneering summit for spatial intelligence.

Taking place in Dubai, this high-profile, two-day forum serves as a vital platform for government authorities, national space agencies, tech innovators, and industry leaders to explore how the fusion of location data and space-based technologies can drive sustainable urban growth, economic diversification, and climate resilience.

Core Focus Themes & Technologies

The forum moves beyond theoretical discussions to showcase real-world, high-impact integrations of spatial intelligence and predictive analytics across key sectors:

• Space Innovation & Earth Observation: Utilizing satellite data, remote sensing, and radar imaging to support environmental monitoring and strategic planning.

• Smart Cities & Infrastructure: Unpacking the spatial modeling behind massive regional initiatives, including Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 giga-projects (NEOM, Red Sea) and Dubai's urban expansion projects.

• AI-Driven Mapping & GeoAI: Harnessing automated machine learning and 3D geospatial intelligence for sharper urban planning and corporate decision-making.

• Digital Twins & BIM Integration: Combining Building Information Modeling (BIM) and geographic information systems (GIS) to design next-generation, future-ready ecosystems.

• Climate Resilience & Resource Optimization: Using advanced simulations to guide flood resilience, manage municipal underground utilities, and optimize natural resources.

Who Will Attend?

The forum is designed to host over 300+ cross-industry professionals, with over 80% consisting of regional and international decision-makers. Attendees span the following core verticals:

• Public Sector Leaders: National space agencies, local municipalities, and defense/security authorities.

• Tech & Engineering Specialists: GIS specialists, drone operators, remote sensing analysts, and data developers.
