infrastructure? And who’s redefining connectivity beyond terrestrial limits?
Futureproofing from orbit – a critical mission

From LEO revolutions to AI-driven satellite data, the summit’s speaker roster reads like a who’s-who of
innovators and forward-thinkers within this rapidly growing industry.

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 $22.5B+ satellite economy.
“Terrestrial systems are fragmented - space is the answer,” declares 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,”

Apa continued. “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.”

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, which can be
