St. Louis Continues to Build Capacity to Help Geospatial Companies Meet Their Mission

St. Louis is Building for the Future of Geospatial Through:

ORLANDO, Fla. – After playing host to GEOINT Symposium for the second time in under two years in May 2023, the geospatial team from St. Louis will travel to Orlando, Florida, for GEOINT Symposium 2024 where they will show global geospatial leaders how St. Louis continues to build capacity to help geospatial companies meet their mission.

“Location matters when it comes to connecting with geospatial talent, innovation, and opportunities, and we have brought everything together in St. Louis to help geospatial companies big and small meet their mission,” said Maggie Kost, Chief Business Attraction Officer for Greater St. Louis, Inc., which leads the GeoFutures Initiative. “We look forward to welcoming everyone back to GEOINT Symposium 2025 in St. Louis in May of next year to show them firsthand why St. Louis is the nation’s center for geospatial excellence.”

BUILDING ADDITIONAL CAPACITY FOR GEOSPATIAL GROWTH

While at GEOINT Symposium 2024 in Orlando, the St. Louis geospatial ecosystem will showcase the capacities it is building to drive its ongoing growth and to help geospatial companies continue theirs.

Construction of the $1.75 billion state-of-the-art NGA-St. Louis headquarters just north of Downtown St. Louis is expected to wrap up in late 2025. The new facility will include unclassified space so NGA employees can collaborate with private sector businesses and academic institutions on solutions for the future.

Additionally, the St. Louis geospatial ecosystem has been hard at work, building capacity to help geospatial companies by:

“At the end of the day, we want to make sure that everyone at GEOINT Symposium knows that St. Louis is a thriving geospatial community where business, government, academia, and the community are all working together to make our city the global center for geospatial technology,” added Kost. “And that St. Louis is truly a place where anyone can start up, stand out, and stay.”
