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.’’
