INTERGEO in Stuttgart – leading international trade fair for geodesy, geoinformation, and land management

Shaping the digital future with geodata, drones, and smart mapping

INTERGEO is one of the world's most important platforms for innovations in geodata, surveying, cartography, drone technology, and smart city applications. It takes place annually in different major German cities—in 2025, Stuttgart will once again host the event, offering an ideal location for this international industry gathering with its innovative environment. The trade fair brings together experts from administration, research, business, and technology who are involved in the collection, analysis, and use of spatial data. At the same time, it shows how these technologies contribute to solving global challenges – from sustainable urban development to the digital twin of the Earth.

Future technologies at the heart of INTERGEO

INTERGEO focuses on the entire spectrum of geo-IT—from traditional surveying instruments and GIS systems to cutting-edge technologies such as 3D mapping, artificial intelligence, remote sensing, and building information modeling (BIM). The main topics include:

• Geodesy & surveying technology
• Geographic information systems (GIS) and geodata analysis
• Digital twins & smart cities
• Satellite and drone technologies
• Remote sensing, LiDAR, photogrammetry
• Cartography & visualization
• BIM and infrastructure planning
• Spatial planning, environmental and cadastral management

INTERGEO is not just a product and innovation show—it sees itself as a catalyst for an increasingly data-driven society in which spatial reference plays a decisive role. Anyone interested in other trade fairs in the region will find a comprehensive overview of the regional event portfolio at Stuttgart Trade Fair.

Target groups: Precision meets practice

INTERGEO attracts an interdisciplinary audience of professionals who want to find out about the latest developments in geoinformation technology, maintain networks, and establish business contacts. These include:

• Surveyors and geomatics engineers
• Planners, architects, GIS and BIM specialists
• Cities and municipalities, building and infrastructure authorities
• Environmental and spatial planners
• Operators of infrastructure and supply networks
• Companies from the mobility, construction, energy, and agriculture sectors
• Students, start-ups, research institutions

There is a particularly strong exchange between traditional engineering surveying and modern geo-IT approaches, which are increasingly converging.

Technologies for the challenges of our time

INTERGEO shows how geoinformation is becoming increasingly important in almost all areas of life—whether in mobility planning, the energy transition, or disaster control. The focus topics of the trade fair are:

• Sustainable urban development & smart cities
• Climate impact adaptation through digital spatial data
• Use of drones in infrastructure, forestry, energy, and cadastre
• Automated data processing & AI-supported analysis
• Data security, open standards, and interoperability
• 3D representations & immersive visualization

This is not just about technical solutions, but also about social responsibility in dealing with data and technologies.

INTERGEO Conference – First-hand knowledge

The renowned INTERGEO Conference will take place parallel to the trade fair—a high-caliber congress format with over 200 presentations, panels, and keynotes. Here, experts will discuss:

• Global geo trends
• Practical examples from smart city development
• New standards and legal frameworks
• Digitization of public administration
• Education and training strategies for the geo-industry
• Market and technology trends in international comparison

The program is complemented by guided tours, meetups, start-up areas, and interactive formats.

Internationality as a factor for success

INTERGEO has a strong international focus: exhibitors and trade visitors from over 40 countries make the trade fair a global meeting place. It is ideal for companies looking to tap into new markets, enter into technological partnerships, or present their solutions to an international audience of experts. The trade fair is also closely linked to the major associations and networks in the industry, including DVW e. V. (Society for Geodesy, Geoinformation and Land Management), FIG, EuroSDR, and UN-GGIM.

INTERGEO – Space for the future

Every year at INTERGEO, the geo-IT industry demonstrates once again how important spatial data is for a sustainable, smart, and resilient world. Whether in the planning of transport networks, the management of energy flows, or the development of digital twins—without geoinformation, there can be no meaningful digitalization.
