The SatNav Africa Joint Programme Office (JPO), in partnership with the Government of Cabo Verde and the Ministry of Digital Economy, will organise the ‘Africa Satellite Navigation Conference Pre-event’, scheduled for 16th to 17th July 2025, Praia, Cabo Verde. Under the Patronage of His Excellency Dr Olavo Correia, Deputy Prime Minister of Cabo Verde, the high-level event will focus on the theme “Leveraging GNSS Technology for Enhanced Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems (EMHWS) in Africa.”
The conference will focus on the role of GNSS technologies in advancing disaster resilience across the continent.
