Monitoring Britain’s rail network from Space: How satellite technology is transforming nationwide asset management

This presentation offers a timely, real-world case study of how satellite data combined with geospatial technology and subject matter expertise is solving a critical infrastructure challenge at national scale. With rail networks globally facing increasing pressure from climate change, ageing assets, and budget constraints, the lessons from Network Rail’s pioneering adoption of satellite technology are highly relevant to GEO Business attendees across multiple sectors.

The talk aligns directly with GEO Business themes of earth observation, remote sensing, and using location data to solve real-world problems, delivered by a CEO with hands-on experience of deploying these solutions at scale.
