Press Release

First-ever edition of SATExpo Middle East to spotlight innovations

shaping global space and satellite industry

UAE, May 09, 2025: SATExpo Middle East 2025 launches as the premier regional event for the
space and satellite industry, in response to industry demand for a specialised platform 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.
