How Geoinformation at INTERGEO 2024 is Revolutionizing Global Industries
Stuttgart / Karlsruhe, April 8, 2024 – From September 24 to 26, 2024, Messe Stuttgart will become the vibrant center of the geospatial community. INTERGEO, the world's leading event for geodesy, geoinformation, and land management, will bring together experts and visionaries from around the world. With 600 international brands, industry leaders, associations, and startups, INTERGEO underscores its position as the number one event in the geospatial community, fostering networking, collaboration, and the co-creation of the future. As an international platform, INTERGEO offers a global perspective and promotes cross-border cooperation to harness the full potential of geoinformation technologies in tackling global challenges.
From Planning to Prediction: Geoinformation as a Driving Force
Geoinformation is the invisible engine powering modern society, offering solutions to global challenges. From smart city development and sustainable agriculture to efficient environmental management, the technologies and applications presented at INTERGEO 2024 are diverse. They demonstrate that geospatial data, applications, and tools are not only crucial for traditional fields like navigation and mapping but also key to innovative solutions across industries—helping to tackle challenges such as climate change, urban expansion, and resource management.
INTERGEO 2024 will showcase how geoinformation technologies are driving innovation across numerous industries. The Expo and Conference will cover a wide range of topics, including BIM, Earth Observation, Digital Twins, maritime solutions, and the latest developments in the drone market.
Highlights and Innovations
The geospatial industry plays a crucial role across multiple sectors—from urban planning and climate research to agriculture. INTERGEO 2024 serves as a platform for sharing and showcasing innovations that lay the foundation for future-oriented solutions in administration, business, and science.
Innovative technologies such as high-precision LiDAR systems for drones and multi-band aerial camera systems with thermographic capabilities will push the geoinformation industry forward. INTERGEO in Stuttgart will also highlight the synergy between geodata and digital construction, particularly through the integration of BIM processes. Once again, the BIM Days Germany will be held as an integrated event. The Conference and dedicated BIM Stage at the Expo will explore the growing connection between geodesy and digital construction, focusing on BIM integration, sustainable CO₂-neutral construction, renovation, and maintenance throughout all three event days.
Earth Observation – A Key Focus
INTERGEO 2024 aims to become the leading international event in the field of Earth Observation. The importance of Earth Observation for various applications—ranging from climate research and urbanization to agriculture—is immense. A key focus will be the use of Earth Observation data to support sustainable development and to address global challenges such as climate change. In the face of extreme weather events, biodiversity loss, and urbanization pressures, Earth Observation data provides critical insights for effective adaptation and mitigation strategies.
The innovative Earth Observation technologies showcased at INTERGEO 2024 will be essential for understanding and monitoring climate phenomena. High-resolution satellite imagery and advanced analytical methods will enable precise documentation and analysis of changes in ecosystems, sea levels, and glacier melt. These insights are indispensable for developing climate adaptation strategies and reducing CO₂ emissions. The INTERGEO Conference will feature sessions on topics such as Earth Observation for Managing the Green Transition and From Climate Change to Climate Adaptation – Consequences and Actions, emphasizing the crucial role of Earth Observation in modern society. A keynote session, Earth Observation for Our World in Change, will address current challenges and solutions in the field.
As Earth Observation technologies continue to advance and data becomes more widely available, their relevance in commercial markets will grow, creating new business opportunities and helping solve global challenges. According to recent market data from Euroconsult, numerous new countries are entering the satellite manufacturing industry. Over the next decade, more than 3,500 Earth Observation satellites will be launched, generating nearly 98 billion US dollars in revenue—almost triple the number of launches between 2012 and 2021, representing a market value growth of 23%.

Partnerships for a Sustainable Future
Strategic partnerships play a vital role in Earth Observation. The collaborations between INTERGEO organizer DVW e.V. – Society for Geodesy, Geoinformation, and Land Management and leading organizations such as the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the European Space Agency (ESA) highlight the importance of international cooperation and the shared goal of advancing Earth Observation. These partnerships push the boundaries of technology and maximize their applications for a sustainable future.
A Unified World: Geodata Connects Us All
In September 2024, the halls of Messe Stuttgart will come alive with a vibrant international network. Around 17,000 expected participants from all over the world will turn INTERGEO into a global hub for geoinnovation, bringing together the international geospatial community to shape the world of tomorrow.
INTERGEO 2024 is not just about international networking—it’s about demonstrating how global exchange can drive local impact. From urban planning inspired by international best practices to climate protection projects based on global data, the event will make it clear that the answers to local challenges are often found through global dialogue.
This event is a unique opportunity to gain insights into the future of geoinformation and Earth Observation while shaping the direction for the years ahead. It invites the global community to become part of a movement that leverages innovation, technology, and knowledge exchange to create a sustainable future.
