Over the past decade, the Geospatial World Forum (GWF) has emerged as a transformative platform—convening global leaders, policy makers, technology innovators, and sectoral champions to build a shared vision for a geospatially empowered world. From data sovereignty to digital infrastructure, and from climate action to AIdriven location intelligence, GWF has helped shape how societies perceive, value, and utilize spatial knowledge.

As the world faces shifting geopolitical alignments, digital disruption, and urgent sustainability challenges, GWF 2026 will address a defining trinity: Sovereignty, Economy & Society—affirming geospatial’s place as an anchor of resilience, equity, and innovation.
