K2 Geospatial Joins GeoIgnite 2026 as Silver Partner to Advance Digital Sovereignty in Canada’s Geospatial Ecosystem

Montreal, Canada, April 2026

K2 Geospatial, a Canadian leader in geospatial technology and geographic information systems (GIS), has announced its participation as a Silver Partner at
GeoIgnite 2026, Canada’s National Geospatial Leadership Conference, taking place May 11 to 13, 2026 at the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre.

Organized by GoGeomatics Canada, GeoIgnite brings together senior leaders from government, industry, academia, Indigenous organizations, and international partners to explore how geospatial capabilities are shaping Canada’s sovereignty, resilience, security, and digital infrastructure in a rapidly evolving global landscape.

For K2 Geospatial, supporting GeoIgnite reflects a strong commitment to strengthening Canada’s geospatial community and fostering collaboration across the ecosystem.

“GeoIgnite is an important gathering for the Canadian geomatics community,” said Jacques Charron, President of K2 Geospatial. “It provides a unique opportunity to engage with leaders and practitioners who are shaping the future of geospatial technology and to discuss key challenges facing our industry, including digital sovereignty and the importance of keeping geospatial data under Canadian jurisdiction, free from extraterritorial legislation.”

Throughout the conference, K2 Geospatial will engage with attendees and industry partners to discuss how Canadian organizations can strengthen control over their geospatial data and infrastructure. Hosted entirely on Canadian sovereign infrastructure and not subject to the U.S. Cloud Act or Patriot Act, JMap Cloud ensures that sensitive geospatial data remains under national jurisdiction while delivering high performance, security, and interoperability.

The company will also showcase JMap, its geospatial platform developed in Canada and designed to provide organizations with a unified, real-time view of their territory and operations. JMap connects seamlessly to industry-standard tools such as ArcGIS, AutoCAD, FME, and QGIS, without vendor lock-in or compromise to existing ecosystems.

As a natively bilingual geospatial platform, JMap is well positioned to serve federal organizations and agencies operating in both official languages, reinforcing K2 Geospatial’s role in Canada’s national geospatial infrastructure.

GeoIgnite 2026 is organized by GoGeomatics Canada, whose mission is to strengthen the geomatics sector by providing content, services, and opportunities that help professionals collaborate and grow the industry.

K2 Geospatial looks forward to connecting with the geospatial community at GeoIgnite to discuss the evolving role of GIS in national resilience, digital infrastructure, and territorial intelligence.
