Harnessing Geospatial Intelligence for Africa’s Sustainable and Resilient Future

 

 

AfricaGIS 2025 returns as the continent’s premier Geospatial Information conference and exhibition, bringing together a global community of innovators, policymakers, researchers, and development leaders.

Now in its latest edition, AfricaGIS has, for over two decades, served as the flagship marketplace for geospatial knowledge and innovation in Africa—playing a transformative role in building professional skills and strengthening institutional capacity across the region.

This year’s event will be even more impactful with the co-hosting of the UN-GGIM: Africa XI Conference, led by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA). This landmark collaboration underscores the critical importance of geospatial intelligence in achieving Africa’s development goals.

Hosted locally by the Land Commission of Ghana and co-organised by the Licensed Surveyors Association of Ghana, AfricaGIS 2025 and UN-GGIM: Africa XI promises to deliver a dynamic platform for high-level dialogue, collaboration, and innovation.

 

What to Expect:
  • A powerful global gathering of professionals, government officials, academia, private sector, and development partners.
  • In-depth discussions on emerging geospatial technologies, cutting-edge applications, and innovative strategies.
  • Opportunities to showcase solutions, build partnerships, and shape the future of Africa’s geospatial ecosystem.
  • A vibrant setting in Accra, Ghana, known for its rich culture and hospitality.
