Genesys International to digitally map holy shrine Mecca

IT firm Genesys International Corporation's subsidiary in Saudi Arabia, Genesys Middle East Ltd., has secured a contract for the 3D Digital Twin mapping of the Holy City of Mecca. Awarded by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this project, valued at ₹26 crore for the initial phase, marks a historic move towards using digital twin mapping technology for urban planning, modeling, and monitoring. 
 
The contract requires the completion of the project within six months from the Letter of Award (LoA). This validates Genesys' proprietary platform, Oyster 3D Maps, in high-precision mapping, covering aspects like crowd management, disaster management, and general planning for one of the world's most visited locations. 
 
Sajid Malik, CMD of Genesys International, said, "We are excited to deepen our roots in Saudi Arabia, a nation leading transformative projects. The digital twin of the Holy Shrine of Mecca is a significant responsibility, and our team's expertise aims to make it a testament to our technology platform. We look forward to contributing to Saudi Arabia's infrastructure and providing value to the government and our clients." 
 
Genesys has strengthened its position in 3D mapping in Saudi Arabia, a country experiencing rapid infrastructure growth, especially for the World Expo 2030. This success emphasizes Saudi Arabia's commitment to expanding its infrastructure, recognising 3D data as crucial for effective infrastructure and city planning. 
 
Besides the Mecca project, Genesys has completed 3D Indoor Mapping for 27 airports for the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA). The company is involved in projects with GeoSa, the national mapping authority of Saudi Arabia, and NEOM. 
 
Simultaneously, in India, Genesys has introduced the new India Map stack for various sectors. The company's continued expansion and involvement in projects establish it as a global leader in geospatial solutions. Genesys recently partnered with the Survey of India, Government of India, reflecting its commitment to advancing geospatial technology globally.
