As the MENA region enters a new era of smart city development, infrastructure modernization, and rapid digital transformation, the MENA Geospatial & Space Technology Forum stands out as a pioneering platform dedicated to advancing innovation in geospatial intelligence and space-based technologies. Taking place on 24–25 June 2026 at Al Habtoor Grand Resort, Autograph Collection, the forum will bring together key stakeholders shaping the future of infrastructure and digital ecosystems across the region.
Designed to address the growing need for accurate data, intelligent mapping, and advanced analytics, the forum will explore how geospatial and space technologies can support sustainable urban development and long-term economic growth. It will serve as a collaborative hub for government authorities, national space agencies, city planners, infrastructure developers, and technology innovators to exchange insights, showcase solutions, and build strategic partnerships.
A core focus of the event will be the integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, satellite data, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven mapping, and digital twin technologies. These tools are transforming how cities are planned, built, and managed — enabling real-time insights, predictive capabilities, and improved resource allocation. From optimizing infrastructure performance to enhancing disaster preparedness and climate resilience, these innovations are critical to developing smarter, more adaptive urban environments.
The forum will also highlight how these technologies contribute to achieving sustainability goals, including better environmental monitoring, efficient water and energy management, improved land use planning, and reduced carbon impact. Through real-world case studies, attendees will gain practical insights into how cutting-edge solutions are already being implemented across the MENA region to drive efficiency, innovation, and resilience.
By fostering collaboration between public and private sectors, the event aims to accelerate the adoption of advanced technologies and support a unified vision for smart cities. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with industry leaders, policymakers, and solution providers to address key challenges such as climate change, rapid urbanization, and resource optimization.
Ultimately, the MENA Geospatial & Space Technology Forum is more than just a conference — it is a catalyst for transformation. By connecting ideas, technologies, and decision-makers, it aims to shape a smarter, more connected, and future-ready MENA region, truly designing a smarter world from ground to galaxy.
