Leading the Way in GeoIntelligence: A Global Gathering of Defence Experts

The 15th edition of Geointelligence Forum, a dedicated defence technology conclave, addresses regional dynamics, climate-driven instability and technological disruptions. Marking its third consecutive edition focused on the Indo Pacific region, highlights the region’s critical role in the evolution of regional threats. Organized by Geospatial World, on 4-5 March 2025 at Hotel Vivanta, Dwarka, New Delhi, IPGF25 explores emerging technologies like AI, quantum technologies and spacebased surveillance to shape intelligence strategies, and advance futuristic defence systems. Global experts will discuss the convergence of space, geospatial technologies and innovations to strengthen regional security, cooperation and stability.

THEME

NextGen Sovereign GeoIntelligence Assets for Regional Security

The theme “NextGen Sovereign Geointelligence Assets for Regional Security” emphasizes the need for advanced sovereign geospatial technology assets that are interoperable across nations. These assets are critical for ensuring self reliance while also helping in fostering regional security collaborations. Geointelligence provides real-time situational awareness, precision targeting and predictive insights for rapid threat response. Satellite surveillance, AIdriven data analytics, edge computing and cyber resilient communications provide a foolproof security ecosystem. It is imperative for nations to invest in independent space and geospatial infrastructure to create self reliant capabilities.

Role of Geospatial and Emerging Technologies

01

Why Indo Pacific is Significant?

  • The Indo Pacific is very densely populated and is home to more than half the world’s people. It is a vast area that encompasses the Indian Ocean, the Western Pacific Ocean and the countries in between, including major powers such as China, India, Japan, Australia and several South East Asian nations. It accounts for 65% of the world’s oceans and 25% of its land.
  • With nations of the region jockeying for power, the security environment of the Indo Pacific is extremely fragile.
  • It generates nearly 60% of global GDP and is responsible for two third of the world’s economic growth.
  • The region has seven of the world’s largest militaries.
  • Nearly half of all maritime trade passes through the Indo Pacific.
02

Major Challenges in the Indo Pacific Region

  • The region faces pressure, particularly in East Asia.
  • Prone to maximum natural disasters, home to 40% of the world’s population.
  • Disputes over the Spratly Islands, rich in oil and natural gas reserves, involving six nations.
  • The security of the Indo Pacific region holds strategic global importance.
  • Initial indications suggest discontent with the framework not addressing trade and tariff issues.
03

Need for a Combined Indo Pacific security Strategy

  • Most less developed nations of the region aspire to provide a better life for their citizens. Regional stability is essential for development.
  • Cooperation in space infrastructure and geospatial intelligence technologies and capabilities for national security requirements.
  • Capitalizing on the potential game-changing benefits of space and geospatial technological developments.
  • Establishing collaboration based on the international rule-based system, respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity, fostering consultation, good governance, transparency, viability, and sustainability.
  • Promoting common standards for interoperability as the foundation for future deeper integration.
