5/12/25, 11:33 AM SATExpo Middle East 2025 launches as regional space industry hub - SatellitePro ME

for Aerospace Engineering Sector at Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC); Majid AlNaimi,

Executive Director of Satellite Projects at Es’hailSat (Qatar’s state-owned satellite operator), will headline a

panel on the ‘Private Sector’s Role in the New Space Economy,’ spotlighting Qatar’s strategic investments in

satellite infrastructure. He joins Prof. Sherif Sedky, CEO of the Egyptian Space Agency (EgSA), who leads a

fireside chat on empowering SMEs through agency initiatives.

On Day 1, sessions will explore the private sector’s role in the new space economy, the shift toward smaller,

smarter satellites, and how satellite tech can enable safer, more sustainable cities, featuring speakers from

the UAE Space Agency, S4 GmbH, and Astroscale Japan. Day 2 will focus on AI-driven satellite data

applications, strategies for technology localisation, and the growing influence of women in space leadership,

with key insights from Rivada Group, SpaceData Inc., and the Egyptian Space Agency, setting the stage for the

next era of space innovation.

The UAE’s strategic investments in space, forward-thinking policies, and advanced infrastructure have cemented

its role as a global space leader. Premier events like SATExpo will amplify this position, drawing international

attention and fostering industry collaboration. Backed by a legacy of high-impact programmes, the expo will

drive policy innovation and shape the future of the space economy.

This vision is powered by DWTC, the tech event organiser. With a 30-year legacy through CABSAT, GITEX

and AIE, DWTC is a catalyst for regional sector growth, reinforcing Dubai’s status as a global hub for trade and

innovation.
