This year’s INTERGEO EXPO and CONFERENCE reaffirmed its role as the leading trade fair in the geospatial industry, thanks to strong international participation and the presentation of innovative solutions. Additionally, it served as the central meeting point for in-depth exchange within the industry, where experts and professionals discussed future-oriented developments and forged valuable contacts.
With 579 exhibitors and over 17.000 visitors from 121 countries, the EXPO demonstrated its international reach and the industry’s resilience despite global economic challenges. The conference brought around 800 attendees from 47 countries to Stuttgart with its broad program.
“The numbers show that we are presenting important tools for addressing central societal challenges. Digital twins, based on artificial intelligence (AI), are becoming increasingly important for tackling climate change. They are indispensable planning tools for cities, buildings, transportation, security, and environmental applications,” said Prof. Dr. Rudolf Staiger, President of DVW e.V., German Association for Geodesy, Geoinformation, and Land Management. Administrations and organizations worldwide rely on geoinformation as a foundation for forecasts and decisions. Decision-makers use real-time data, GeoAnalytics, Big Data, and AI to help address climate and social crises, Staiger added.
