billion by 2027.
Integrate Middle East 2025: Pro AV innovations took centre stage at the third edition,
featuring adaptive digital signage, immersive audio-visual tools (such as a world first with
BOYA's AI-powered wireless mics), and smart venue technologies revolutionising urban
infrastructure.
SATExpo Middle East 2025: The debut satellite and space expo spotlighted AI-powered
satellite advancements, strategic collaborations (like ABS and SpaceBridge coming
together to improve managed data services across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa),
and eSports racing powered by Eutelsat satellite connectivity, alongside critical
discussions at the SATExpo Summit on orbital sustainability, led by Astroscale's Aya
Iwamoto, Vice President, Strategy and Policy.

Catalysts for transformative ideas:
As well unveiling the latest technological advancements, the shows also set the stage for the
announcements of strategic partnerships formalised by the signing of Memoranda of
Understandings (MoUs). Leading global satellite operator Arabsat inked six MOUs with
partners at SATExpo, including an agreement with Grass Valley, the technology leader in live
production solutions, to launch a new suite of cloud-based broadcast services.
Also forging strategic connections, the Co-Production Salon returned to CABSAT 2025 for the
fourth consecutive year as an exclusive invite-only hub for content collaboration. Organised
by HConsult, a leading content market specialist in the Arabic-speaking MENA, and with an
impressive 90 per cent re-participation rate, the Salon brings together creatives with
production houses, OTT platforms, television networks, content investors and brand
representatives looking to develop TV and film content with international appeal.
Speaking at the conclusion of the three events, Alex Nicholl, Vice President, New Industries
of Dubai World Trade Centre, said:“The success of this year's CABSAT, Integrate Middle
East, and the inaugural SATExpo Middle East underscores the UAE's leadership as a global
nexus for the media, entertainment, and satellite industries. Gathering over 32,000
professionals, these events have proven to be more than just platforms-they are catalysts for
innovation, collaboration, and transformative ideas. At DWTC, we take pride in organising
events that foster these connections, empowering industry pioneers to drive progress, share
knowledge, and shape the future. The momentum generated here will resonate far beyond
these halls, and we look forward to building on this legacy together.”
