future of satellite innovations

May 14, 2025 12

Transformative solutions, breakthrough technologies, pioneering concepts shaping the future of the satellite sector, and a racing
stimulation were at the forefront of SATExpo Middle East 2025, the newly launched regional event for the space and satellite industry.

Taking place from 13 – 15 May at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), the premier edition of the exhibition is anticipated to attract
over 8,000 visitors, including key stakeholders from telecommunications authorities, network operators, defence and military leadership,
and leaders from the oil, gas and mining sectors, all seeking to explore next-gen satellite technologies to strengthen their industries.

French satellite leader Eutelsat electrified this year’s SATExpo by hosting a pulse-pounding iRacing Live competition in collaboration
with eCLUTCH, the Middle East’s fastest-growing eSports content platform. Transforming the exhibition into a high-speed virtual
racetrack, the event saw attendees battle in real-time on professional racing simulators, showcasing the explosive potential of satellite-
powered eSports.

There were winners off the racetrack as exhibitors Agility Beyond Space (ABC), a global satellite operator and SpaceBridge, a leading
provider of satellite network equipment solutions, announced a strategic collaboration to improve managed data services across Europe,
the Middle East, and Africa. This collaboration will combine ABS’s satellite expertise with SpaceBridge’s cutting-edge network
technology to deliver next-generation connectivity solutions—including high-performance broadband and secure internet trunking—to
enterprises, governments, mobile operators, and critical infrastructure sectors.

SATExpo Middle East was borne out of a growth sector within long-running B2B broadcast and media event, CABSAT. The co-located
events celebrated their 1st and 31st edition respectively and SATExpo welcomed long-running CABSAT exhibitors to a new event
dedicated to their sector, the satellite and space economy.

Mustafa Murad, CEO at Gulfsat Communications, said: “We proudly showcase our cutting-edge services at SATExpo 2025, where we will
exhibit secure, flexible and reliable satellite Video & DATA solutions tailored for large enterprises and government entities. Going in line
with the fast-geopolitical dynamics in the MENA region, Gulfsat offers a unique, protected, anti-jamming, broadcast DTH service on all its
bouquets active on the 7/8 West orbital position. Attendees will also be able to explore our fully scalable, end-to-end IoT connectivity
solutions, designed to empower smart operations across diverse sectors.”

Driving forward discussion and collaboration within the industry, SATExpo Middle East Summit 2025 has convened international leaders
in satellite and space for the two days of high-level dialogues and collaborative innovations.

The event’s inaugural day ignited dynamic discussions on the seismic shifts transforming the space economy, featuring insights from
industry titans like Axiom Space (USA), Es’hailsat (Qatar), FADA (UAE), S4 GmbH (Germany), and Astroscale (Japan). Sessions explored
critical frontiers—from the private sector’s expanding role in space commercialization to the revolution of compact, AI-powered satellites
