(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) 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 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, and the meteoric rise of women shaping the cosmos. Industry pioneers
like Rivada Space Networks (UK), OrbitWorks (UAE), Kuwait Maps CIS, SpaceData Inc. (Japan), and Saudi Arabia's
NeoSpace Group ignited debates on next-generation innovation-from machine learning-powered Earth observation to
sovereign space capabilities.
