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 1 and 31 edition respectively and SATExpo welcomed long-running CABSAT exhibitors to a new event dedicated to their sector, the satellite and
space economy.

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
