Impact
Geo Connect Asia concentrates the ASEAN geospatial buying chain into two days: national mapping agencies, infrastructure owners, survey firms and technology vendors. The 2025 edition recorded 2,930 attendees from 51 countries, and the organiser projects 3,000+ for 2027 with 35% from wider APAC.
Audience quality
The audience is trade-only and skewed to decision-makers: the organiser reports 80% decision-makers and 40+ countries. Government land and survey agencies attend alongside enterprise asset owners, making the floor useful for specification-stage conversations rather than general public awareness.
Exhibitor outcomes
The show is strongest for vendors with an ASEAN route-to-market. A stand puts a company in front of survey, GIS, construction, drone and marine buyers, and the co-located shows widen reach without a second booth. The 2025 release cites 2,930 attendees from 51 countries as the benchmark.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Southeast Asia is building national spatial-data infrastructure, smart cities and climate-resilience programmes at the same time that AI, autonomy and Earth observation are entering procurement. Singapore sits at the finance and policy centre of that market, and Geo Connect Asia is the region’s dedicated meeting point for geospatial buyers and solution providers.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
AI moves from pilot to production
Geospatial teams are embedding machine learning into feature extraction, change detection and asset inspection, shifting spend from experiments to operational platforms.
What it changes: Vendors that can show production workflows and clean data provenance will stand out on the floor.
National mapping data opens up
Government mapping agencies across ASEAN are publishing higher-resolution basemaps and authoritative datasets for planning, transport and climate adaptation.
What it changes: Buyers need interoperability, security and local data partnerships, not just software licences.
Autonomy converges with location data
Drones, robotics and uncrewed marine systems depend on real-time positioning, LiDAR and reliable connectivity, pulling geospatial and autonomy buyers into the same procurement.
What it changes: The co-located Drones & Uncrewed Asia and Ocean Connect Asia widen the addressable audience for survey and positioning vendors.
Geo Connect Asia is co-located with Digital Construction Asia, Drones & Uncrewed Asia and Ocean Connect Asia at Sands Expo & Convention Centre. One ticket gives access to all four exhibitions, so buyers can cover the full data chain from underground and land to sea and sky.
