Launching Invisible Infrastructure — a new private sector consultation report by Geospatial World Consulting, developed in collaboration with the United Nations Global Geodetic Centre of Excellence (UN-GGCE).

The report brings forward insights from industry leaders, technology innovators, and government stakeholders on a critical question:

What happens to global operations if the geodesy supply chain fails?

From PNT and Earth observation to communications, financial systems, mobility, and critical infrastructure — modern economies depend on resilient geodetic foundations, often without realizing it.

At the launch, Nicholas Brown, Head of UN-GGCE, and Ananyaa Narain, VP Consulting at Geospatial World, highlighted the urgent need to elevate geodesy from a technical discussion to a strategic governance priority.

Invisible infrastructure powers visible impact. The time to strengthen awareness, resilience, and collaboration is now.

At the GeoBuiz Summit 2026 Opening Address, Sanjay Kumar, CEO of Geospatial World, spoke about the evolution of GeoBuiz from buzz to business—and the journey of turning innovation into real-world impact.

He highlighted that the global geospatial market, now valued at $677B, has surpassed space as a direct market, while space continues to enable scale through Earth observation, GNSS, and connectivity. Together, these domains form the backbone of modern digital infrastructure.

He also spoke about the shift toward the autonomous age, where maps are no longer used only by humans—machines are consuming and creating them as well. Spatial computing and digital twins are expanding value chains, while governments increasingly recognize geospatial as a critical national asset for development, resilience, and security.
