Space And Satellite Industry

SATExpo Middle East 2025 launches as the premier regional event for the space and satellite

industry,in response to industry demand for a specialised platform for innovation and collaboration.

Set to take place from May 13 to 15, 2025, at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), SATExpo has

grown out of long-running B2B event CABSAT. While the annual edition of CABSAT covers a wide
spectrum of broadcast, content, and digital media, SATExpo zeroes in on critical applications
across aviation, maritime, government, telecom, energy, and emergency response sectors.

The highly anticipated inaugural edition will welcome 140+ international exhibiting brands and
8,000+ senior-level professionals, high-level buyers, and global thought leaders to explore the
latest breakthroughs, share insights and shape the future of space technology.SATExpo will also
showcase transformative technologies that are shaping the industry, from next-generation satellite
systems to best-in-class space exploration innovations.

Driven by the National Space Strategy 2030, the UAE’s space sector is rapidly expanding,
achieving a 40% increase in space service and application contracts in 2020, alongside growth in
related education and training. SATExpo is projected to support this advancing market by shaping the
future of space and satellite services in the MEASA region.

The exhibition, held concurrently with CABSAT,features the launch of the ‘Innovation Capsule’, a
bespoke concierge programme that will offer private briefings and B2B meetings, to help establish
MOU and partnerships. An exclusive private lounge creates a space of relaxed networking and
dialogue.

leaders for two days of high-level discussions and features a powerhouse roster of space sector
leaders, including key figures from government and state-linked entities. After an opening address by
