Investing in Earth Intelligence for a Resilient Future

The 2026 GEO Symposium and GEO-21 Plenary will convene a broad community of stakeholders - from governments, space agencies and, research organizations to private sector innovators, and development partners - for an in-depth exploration of how Earth Intelligence (EI) can drive transformative, resilient solutions for people and the planet.

Taking place at a pivotal moment in the implementation of GEO’s Post-2025 Strategy, this year's Symposium will focus on stimulating critical investment and action needed to support viable, scalable, and inclusive EI solutions across sectors. The programme will feature user stories that demonstrate the value of EI in solving real-world problems, highlight open data and open knowledge as the foundation to create EI solutions, benchmark best practices in co-designing products and services, foster new partnerships through collaboration agreements and expressions of interest, and mobilize investments that benefit users and GEO Work Programme activities alike.
