INTERMAP PARTNERS WITH NSG UP42 TO EXPAND ACCESS TO ELEVATION INTELLIGENCE IN SAUDI ARABIA
Intermap Technologies Corp. has partnered with NSG UP42, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's first national Earth observation data platform.
Global demand for geospatial data and location-based intelligence continues to grow as governments and commercial organizations use advanced mapping, terrain analysis and spatial analytics to support infrastructure development, environmental monitoring, urban planning, energy operations and disaster resilience.
Industry research
projects the geospatial intelligence market to grow from $37.13-billion in 2025 to $62.88-billion by 2030, driven by broader adoption of location-based information and artificial-intelligence-supported spatial analysis across public and private organizations. This growth is increasing demand for reliable elevation data that can support decision-making at national scale. High-resolution digital terrain models (DTMs) and digital surface models (DSMs) provide foundational terrain intelligence for users planning infrastructure, assessing flood risk, evaluating land suitability and managing development across complex environments.
Through the NSG UP42 platform, users in Saudi Arabia can access Intermap's advanced DTM and DSM services, which provide detailed 3-D representations of terrain and surface features across large geographic areas. These datasets support terrain analysis, spatial planning, infrastructure development and environmental assessment by delivering reliable elevation intelligence for data-driven decision-making.
Intermap's elevation intelligence supports critical planning and development applications across Saudi Arabia, including:
- Infrastructure planning and route design;
- Flood risk mapping and water flow analysis;
- Urban planning and terrain assessment;
- Oil and gas route and site planning;
- Environmental analysis and land assessment.
By integrating Intermap's elevation data into the NSG UP42 marketplace, the platform expands access to advanced Earth observation capabilities through a single, unified interface. The partnership supports NSG UP42's mission to build a scalable, comprehensive Earth observation marketplace for Saudi Arabia while helping users apply reliable terrain intelligence to infrastructure, environmental and national development initiatives.
