Decision makers and policy pioneers from the space sector will gather in Dubai to discuss trends and challenges in the
new space economy at SATExpo Middle East 2025, which takes place from May 13 to 15, 2025, at the Dubai World

Trade Centre (DWTC).

The two-day event’s summit will look at how satellites can transform life on earth, with topics including ‘Space
Technology Adoption in Emerging Markets,’ ‘The Road to In-Orbit 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.”
