New member and Seeking ArcGIS Pro Academic Resources and Licensing Support in West Africa

Question

I'm Ayodele, a researcher and teacher who strives to know more.

How may I get resources including access ArcGIS Pro licences? I'd like to do research that apply GIS, spatial analytics, remote sensing, and advanced statistical modelling to address challenges in sustainable mobility, transportation, aviation, climate change, urban systems, and conflict analysis to develop evidence-based solutions for real-world problems.

I'm excited to join the Esri Community to learn from fellow GIS professionals, exchange ideas, stay updated on emerging geospatial technologies, and contribute wherever I can. I particularly look forward to discussions on spatial analysis, ArcGIS workflows, geospatial AI, digital twins, and intelligent transportation systems.

Again, at this moment I wish to get resources including access ArcGIS Pro licences? Who may I talk to and all effort to talk to regional vendor in west africa had proved abortive. Can someone help me?

Thank you for having me. I look forward to learning, collaborating, and engaging with the community!

Hi @JesseCloutier, many thanks for taking out time to respond. Thanks again for sharing the link to the Diego User Conference Plenary videos. And yes, the distributor I was refering to is Sambus Geospatial based in Ghana. If you can assist, please kindly do.

Hi @AyodeleFaiyetole, I'm one of the Community Managers for Esri Community. I saw your request for links to our User Conference Plenary videos and can help with that. You can find them here: 2026 | Plenary Session. You also mentioned having tried to reach the Esri Distributor for your region without luck. Was that Sambus Geospatial (based out of Ghana) or a different Distributor?
