Why this event matters for exhibitors

The Indo-Pacific Geointelligence Forum (IPGF) 2026, now in its 16th edition, continues to establish itself as a pivotal event for innovation, strategic insight, and operational excellence in defence and internal security. Set against the dynamic geopolitical landscape of the Indo-Pacific region, this forum emphasizes the transformative impact of geospatial and space technologies on Network Centric Warfare (NCW). The forum aims to highlight the significance of real-time intelligence, decision superiority, and operational readiness through integrated networked operations, exemplified by Operation Sindoor's success in enhancing territorial sovereignty and regional stability.The central theme of IPGF 2026 focuses on the critical role of geospatial intelligence in shaping NCW, where shared situational awareness and real-time data integration are paramount. The forum will delve into interconnected platforms, multi-domain operations, and how space-based assets are redefining national security and battlefield dominance. It will explore the architecture of technology, policy frameworks, and operational case studies, particularly how data interoperability and sovereign geospatial infrastructure are essential for defence superiority. Key sessions will feature leading armed forces officers, defence attaches, and senior military personnel from more than a dozen nations within the Indo-Pacific, discussing cross-border cooperation and joint defence strategies.A concurrent technology showcase will present cutting-edge solutions in geospatial intelligence, artificial intelligence, Earth observation, global navigation satellite systems, drones, and satellite technologies relevant to defence and internal security. As the Indo-Pacific emerges as a strategic epicenter for global trade and geopolitical rivalry, the forum underscores the importance of ensuring secure maritime routes and readiness against territorial disputes and cyber threats.
