5/12/25, 1:09 PM How The Space Industry Can Help Future-Proof Life On Earth International Experts Gather In Dubai To Discuss
Sustainability,' 'AI's Role in Transforming the Use of Satellite Data,' and more.

With the satellite sector booming – projected to grow at 16.1% annually – the Summit's
expert-led sessions will tackle urgent questions: How can space tech combat climate crises?
Where does AI intersect with orbital 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.
