Virtual Summit on

GeoIntelligence and Changing Security Landscape

To be Announced

Overview

The 21st century has been witness to a major shift in the global economy, security and political structure courtesy two major factors: the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) triggering digitalization and technological advancements; and the emergence of China as a formidable economic and military power.

GeoIntelligence, a broad field which integrates geospatial data with defense, internal security and public safety, has been gaining momentum over the years. Today, countries are investing more than ever to monitor, predict and counter threats on land, sea, air and Space. Further, disruptive technologies are opening new avenues for GeoIntelligence application, and critical infrastructures such as GNSS is being made more resilient and reliable. This paradigm shift is forcing governments to come up with new partnerships policies, a case in point being the Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement for Geospatial Cooperation BECA) between India and the US.

In this background, Geospatial Media & Commuications will hold a high-level virtual summit addressing the GeoIntelligence community's significant challenges and opportunities, and how it can support the fight against changing security situations in this new world order.
