SATExpo’s second day highlights AI integration and
future of satellite innovations

UAE, May 14, 2025: 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
st
broadcast and media event, CABSAT. The co-located events celebrated their 1 and
st
31 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 and their pivotal role in building smarter, safer cities. Visionary keynotes
captivated audiences, including Prof. Dr. Klaus Schilling’s breakthrough
perspectives on Earth observation and interplanetary missions.

The event’s second day was filled with transformative content, spotlighting AI’s
revolutionary role in satellite data, the critical push for localised space technologies,
