SIGMATOP Honored at GISTC International 2026 in China
SIGMATOP Participates in GISTC International 2026, Honored with 2026 Market Expansion Partner Award
SIGMATOP is participating in the GISTC International 2026, organized in Haikou, China, by SuperMap Software. This international meeting focuses on geomatics, geospatial intelligence, and artificial intelligence. The Moroccan company was recognized with the "2026 Market Expansion Partner Award," acknowledging its contribution to the development of Geographic Information System (GIS) solutions.
This participation underscores SIGMATOP’s commitment to technological innovation and digital transformation, particularly in the fields of knowledge, planning, and governance of territories.
Geospatial Intelligence at the Heart of Territorial Transformations
Held under the theme "Geospatial Intelligence, Synergy of Digitalization and AI," this edition of GISTC International brought together representatives from international institutions, researchers, and experts in the geospatial sector.
Discussions on the first day included speakers from the United Nations Geospatial Knowledge and Innovation Center (UN-GGKIC), the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG), the National Center for Geomatics of China, and SuperMap.
The conversations centered on the evolution of geomatic professions in light of the rise of artificial intelligence, as well as the new possibilities offered by the utilization of geographic data. Integrating GeoAI into professional practices raises questions regarding skill development, the role of human expertise, and the reliability of the analyses produced.
Participants also explored the United Nations Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (UN-IGIF), which is seen as a lever for strengthening national capacities and improving territorial governance.
GIS in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Integrating artificial intelligence into Geographic Information System platforms is one of the major axes of ongoing transformations in the sector.
Technological advancements enable the development of more sophisticated spatial analysis tools, enhance data processing, and facilitate their use in decision-making processes. These developments open new perspectives for public institutions, local authorities, and businesses engaged in planning and development projects.
Discussions at GISTC International 2026 also highlighted the potential of geospatial intelligence to bridge the digital divide, through better use of territorial information and improved accessibility.
For SIGMATOP, these directions align with a central ambition: to make geospatial information a concrete tool for decision-making, serving more efficient and informed management of territories.
SIGMATOP Receives the "2026 Market Expansion Partner Award"
SIGMATOP’s participation in this international meeting was marked by the awarding of the "2026 Market Expansion Partner Award."
Mustapha Ben-El Jarbouh, the company’s Deputy General Manager, received the award. According to information provided by SIGMATOP, this prize recognizes its contributions to the development of GIS solutions and its engagement with public and private actors in their digital transformation projects.
This recognition highlights the role of technology partnerships in disseminating geospatial solutions and developing new applications related to territorial information management.
It also provides the company with an opportunity to enhance its visibility among international geomatics stakeholders and strengthen its relationships within this technological ecosystem.
Morocco Enhances Its Presence in Geospatial Innovation
Through its participation in GISTC International 2026, SIGMATOP aims to continue its commitment to geospatial innovation and the modernization of territorial management in Morocco.
In a context marked by the digital transformation of administrations and enterprises, geospatial technologies can contribute to improving planning, organizing services, and monitoring territorial projects.
The event in Haikou thus serves as a platform to share experiences, discover the latest technological advancements, and explore new perspectives for international cooperation.
The distinction received by SIGMATOP underscores the role that Moroccan companies can play in the development of geospatial solutions and in supporting the digital transformations of territories.
