Leading regional brands showcase geospatial excellence

Having made significant strides in leveraging geospatial data for urban planning, construction, infrastructure and sustainability projects, the UAE continues to position itself as a regional leader in geospatial technology. Both Dubai and Abu Dhabi have been ranked as the most liveable cities in the Middle East and Africa, according to the Global Liveability Index of the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).

Driven by the country’s ambitious resilient, sustainable and liveable city projects and digital transformation initiatives, GeoWorld will spotlight leading regional brands that will be at the forefront of the exhibition, showcasing their expertise and innovation in geospatial technology. Some of these prominent names include, Sigma, a leader in positioning technology; MENA3D, a regional pioneer in 3D scanning solutions; Global Technologies and Sitech, both showcasing Trimble's advanced geospatial solutions; Rao Geo Tech, experts in geospatial services and Barjeel Aerial Photography, known for their aerial imaging expertise.

The UAE’s Federal Geographic Information Center (FGIC) is supporting the event. “This partnership with GeoWorld underscores FGIC’s commitment to empowering the public sector by enhancing geospatial capabilities, fostering data-driven decision-making, and supporting sustainable development,” said Eng. Anwaar Alshimmari, Executive Director of the Geospatial Governance Sector at FGIC. “Through the enablement of federal and local government sectors, we aim to ensure geospatial intelligence plays a pivotal role in shaping smarter, more resilient communities.”
