Roundtable: From maps to machine intelligence: Is your geospatial capability actually AI-ready?

As organisations accelerate investment in AI, a critical question is emerging: Are we truly ready from a data perspective?

For utilities and infrastructure businesses, many of the most valuable AI use cases – asset risk, climate resilience, and network performance – are fundamentally driven by location. Yet geospatial is still too often treated as a niche capability, rather than the foundation for enterprise decision-making and AI.

This roundtable brings together industry leaders to explore the reality behind AI readiness. Moving beyond the hype, the discussion will focus on the maturity of geospatial data, common challenges such as fragmentation, lack of standardisation, and limited data discoverability, and the steps required to make location intelligence trusted and usable at scale.

Attendees will gain practical insight into how organisations are evolving from GIS as a tool to geospatial as a strategic capability, and what it will take to unlock the full value of GeoAI in the years ahead.
