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 broadcast
st
st
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.
