5/12/25, 1:08 PM SATExpo Middle East 2025 Takes Off: Regional Hub for Space Innovation Debuts in Dubai - TechAfrica News
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.

Shaping an Advancing Market

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.

SATExpo also brings from CABSAT the SATExpo Summit, which will convene

global space industry leaders for two days of high-level discussions and features
