Singapore’s first large-scale hybrid event in 2021
GCA21 is hosting 26 leading companies as sponsors and exhibitors and features Digital Construction Asia 2021 (DCA21) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Asia 2021 (UAV21). From drone applications and mapping and surveying solutions to satellite and underground mapping, GCA21, DCA21 & UAV21 showcase the full range of applications for key government agencies and enterprises.
The associated conferences and tech talks bring together more than 50 industry leaders and experts at the forefront of government and enterprise, providing critical information, best industry practices and opportunities for the region. The conference highlights geospatial planning and solutions as being key to a robust and sustainable recovery.
GCA 2021 underscores the rapid growth of the global geospatial industry, aided by the wider digital transformation, the advent of Industry 4.0, and the emergence of hi-tech solutions with myriad applications across a wide range of fields and sectors. These include, for instance, AI-based geospatial intelligence solutions and geospatial analytics in urban planning and smart cities, rising adoption of cloud-based geospatial intelligence solutions, as well as AR and VR solutions. The global geospatial analytics market is expected to grow significantly in the near and medium-term future, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.2% from 2020 to 2027.
The event will also trial the Safe Event platform, a geospatial technology solution created by local tech companies Viatick and Trakomatic during the SafeEvent Challenge at the Infocomm Media Development Authority’s (IMDA) Open Innovation Platform, supported by SACEOS. The Safe Event platform utilises geospatial technology to monitor attendees’ movements throughout the event via an app and temperature-tracking wearables. It will also allow automated check-in through facial recognition, reducing physical contact between visitors and common surfaces.
