Government leaders are facing unprecedented geopolitical risks linked to claims, geopolitical changes, and security threats. Geospatial intelligence strategies can be implemented to optimize geopolitical risks, develop advanced models in big data, and communicate transparently in the context of mitigation and intervention measures.
The location-based approach to geopolitical risk management saves time, money, and save lives. The geospatial intelligence tools effectively detect potential geopolitical risk areas, reveal more detailed information on how to manage the risks, and provide a common vision that rationalizes communication during all phases of the geopolitical risk management process.
Governance policies are at the heart of decision-making processes with both opportunities and challenges. The regulations and intervention of the public authorities are required in several sectors. The implementation of targeted geostrategic actions will help decision-makers manage these transformations and allow them to seize development opportunities.
For instance, the disparities in access to vaccines and health care influence geopolitical dynamics and have consequences on national policies, encouraging governments to rethink their foreign and national policies, income prospects, human resources, reputations, and geopolitical risk management strategies.
The continuous evolution of geopolitical powers and international relations, climate change, and matters of sustainability affects global agendas and political prospects, with a need for an increasing role of governments in the conduct and orientation of economic activities, especially their industrial policies.
These geopolitical risk optimizations constitute both challenges and opportunities for governments. While facing commercial and political challenges, governments must adopt strategies for creating sustainable value that, in the long term, will attract more capital and talent. Politicians must therefore develop more strategic approaches to manage geopolitical risks.
The identification of where to allocate resources with location data-based risk assessment and predictive analysis allows for the development of models required to share geospatial data in real-time to target the resources, people, and places impacted.
The creation of detailed risk attenuation plans, and the visualization of data-related needs in real-time when a crisis occurs, allow making decisions that are essential by integrating, analyzing, and displaying data from many sensors, devices, and social networks. This leads to effective crisis management hence quickly treating its repercussions, maintaining operational vigilance, assessing the damage, and informing stakeholders.
The geopolitical dynamics and the pressure exerted on many governments to achieve self-sufficiency, even independence in terms of strategic public investments, make international relations and foreign policies more complex. The continuous disturbances of operations and logistics due to the pandemic, social concerns, cyber attacks, and extreme weather events accentuate the difficulties of global trade around the world.
Therefore, government leaders need to examine their foreign policies and consider international relations strategies, to improve the resilience of their geostrategic positions.

The global economy should experience robust growth offering governments institutions from all sectors the opportunity to make strategic progress. Politicians should integrate geopolitical risk assessments into the due diligence of their strategic plans. The multiplication of international regulations relating to data security and privacy protection will continue to increase data sharing costs beyond borders.
Governments must anticipate the next opportunities to detect the potential changes to come. They must then align the strategies and their foreign policies with the specific international regulations of each country to avoid any problem of conformity. Due to the increased risk of cyber attacks, politicians must also ensure that their countries have the tools to defend themselves.
Due diligence in sustainability and human rights allows government leaders to commit and establish trust with their population. Experts must cooperate with political decision-makers to facilitate the development of inclusive growth and enhance human capital over the long term, in particular by creating jobs and developing new skills.
The evolution of relations between major powers and the growing role of the medium powers could complicate the management of stakeholders, given the potential for contradictory points of view on the part of a wider group of political decision-makers at the national level. However, the presence of a greater number of stakeholders at the negotiating table government institutions additional possibilities to commit.
The growing expectations of stakeholders in sustainability offer the opportunity for strategic change. Politicians must develop and exploit relationships with stakeholders to support policies that reduce differences and promote sustainability and long-term value at the global level.
Geospatial intelligence strategies can be implemented to optimize geopolitical risks, develop advanced models in big data, and communicate transparently in the context of mitigation and intervention measures. The location-based approach to geopolitical risk management saves time, money, and save lives.
As part of the management of geopolitical risks worldwide, the development of more strategic approaches becomes a major imperative. Tod’Aérs Global Network [TGN] and its partners worldwide, have launched the AI-based platform Dikpola-GeoRT to support governments of developing countries and emerging market economies in the optimization of geopolitical risk assessments.
Dikpola-GeoRT is an AI-based integrated geospatial database with advanced tools for geopolitical risk assessment and optimization, which allows governments to manage different types of geospatial data, carry out hundreds of spatial analysis operations and use interactive cartographic visualization tools thanks to the spatial functionalities of Dikpola-GeoRT.
The Dikpola-GeoRT platform helps governments to understand the impact of geopolitical issues and efficiently optimize and mitigate them. The platform also offers scalability, safety, and performance to supply the most demanding applications with an integrated cloud infrastructure; as well as a complete spatial analysis, cartography, and location platform that meets the essential needs of governments in various sectors, including transport, public services, retail, energy, public sector, defense, construction, etc.

In the public sector, government entities can analyze sets of national or local data for digital surveillance, search for contacts, crime cartography, predictive police, and emergency services.
Countries and cities gain efficiency by managing important and complex data concerning cadastre and mapping, agriculture, modeling and planning of 3D cities, the production of hydrographic cards, and weather data. Public institutions increase their competitiveness by effectively analyzing breakdowns and effectively planning services in the field.
Dikpola-GeoRT helps in planning mobile networks and management of public services facilities to optimize the location of mobile network towers, and maintenance workflows, and reduce costs.
In transport and logistics, Dikpola-GeoRT improves operational efficiency by treating large volumes of complex and heterogeneous geospatial data for the maintenance of rail assets, airport assets, air traffic, long-distance road transport, and package delivery.
In engineering and construction, using Dikpola-GeoRT, governments can combine GIS and CAE systems for building data modeling (BIM) and installation management, connecting workflows, eliminating data silos, and providing a location context.
In cybersecurity, financial, and insurance services, Dikpola-GeoRT discovers risk areas and other models based on location data analysis and personalized offers based on this information. It also has integrated privacy tools to ensure the security of data and information.
