Highlights include an opening address by Amer AlSayegh, Assistant Director General for Aerospace
Engineering Sector at Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC); Rivada Space Networks
unveiling Outernet, a game-changer in secure global connectivity; SpaceData merging AI, digital
twins, and pharmaceutical research in zero gravity, plus Astroscale Japan Inc., Es’hailSat, Axiom
Space, Neo Space Group, and 30 more pioneers dissecting the $22.5 billion satellite economy.

"Terrestrial systems are fragmented - space is the answer," said Joe Apa, Rivada Space Networks VP
MEA, ahead of his keynote on LEO’s future.

"Today’s global enterprises and government networks require infrastructure solutions that address
the issues of cybersecurity, latency, and speed associated with the complexity and fragmentation
of terrestrial systems. At the SATExpo ME Summit, I will proudly represent Rivada, delivering a
keynote speech on the ‘Future of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Services’. Moreover, attendees visiting the
stand can explore our latest service, ‘Outernet’, which is a revolutionary private network satellite
that redefines global connectivity," he added.

While Apa envisions a connected future from orbit, Takata pushes boundaries further, where space
data meets AI to redefine industries beyond Earth.

Atsushi Takata, Executive Vice President, Space Utilisation and Global Strategy, SpaceData, said,
"At SpaceData, our mission is to merge the realms of ‘space’ and ‘digital’ by integrating technologies
from satellites, space stations, and lunar exploration with AI, 3DCG, and digital twins. Our recent
investment in Exobiosphere, a Luxembourg-based biotechnology company pioneering
pharmaceutical research in space, is a testament to our commitment to advancing innovation at
the intersection of these fields. I look forward to discussing ‘AI’s role in Transforming Use of Satellite
Data and Bridging New Space Economy’ at the upcoming Summit."

Co-located with B2B media and broadcast technology event CABSAT, SATExpo is launched by
DWTC to fuel investment, partnerships, and innovation in the space sector, with the two events
bridging broadcast, digital media, and the final frontier.

Access to the two-day Summit is complimentary with delegate passes for SATExpo 2025.
