The MENA Geospatial Forum has emerged as a critical platform for shaping the future of urban planning and smart cities infrastructure through geospatial innovation and intelligence in the MENA region. The forum continues to be the go-to platform for government entities, developers, and infrastructure stakeholders to select key partners and suppliers for their ongoing and upcoming projects, explore the latest solutions, and forge strategic alliances.

The Third Edition will be held on 29–30 October 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, co-organized with supporting partners, and will convene more than 250 attendees, of which 80 percent are decision makers, alongside over 35 regional and international speakers, 25 sponsors and exhibitors, and 25 media partners.

Key focus areas for this year’s forum include driving urban transformation through geospatial solutions in infrastructure and smart city systems; real-time analytics, urban resilience, and sustainability; innovation, AI integration, and national digital transformation; 3D modeling, digital twins, and smart city planning; enabling smarter urban development through geospatial innovation and digital twins; and networking with decision makers to secure partnerships for future projects.

Aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, the event will also highlight the most important geospatial projects in the Kingdom, including the NEOM Geospatial Infrastructure, the AlUla Historical and Archaeological 3D GIS, and the Jeddah Digital Twin, as well as national programs such as the Saudi National Spatial Data Infrastructure.

The MENA Geospatial Forum provides exclusive opportunities for exhibitors to showcase new products and technologies, engage directly with project owners, and increase competitiveness by addressing the challenges faced by the region’s key developers, consultants, and stakeholders. By convening leaders from across government, giga projects, and industry, the forum remains the premier platform to advance geospatial intelligence for smarter cities and infrastructure in the region.
