Engaging discussions
Spread across three stages, nine conference tracks will gather over 250 industry leaders to discuss
topics ranging from advancements in aerospace technology to sustainable aviation solutions and
innovations in space exploration. New themes will include MRO, Airport and Airline Keynotes,
Workforce Development, and the Partners Program. Meanwhile, rooted in the UAE’s vision to
support Emiratization, NextGen Leaders is a forward-thinking initiative that connects exceptional
young talent with industry leaders. It aims to refine the skills of students, graduates, and emerging
professionals, paving the way for a high-calibre workforce that unlocks the potential of the region’s
brightest minds.
In partnership with the UAE Space Agency, space remains a core focus of the Dubai Airshow and
will feature new activations and enhanced content in 2025, making it a key showcase for the space
industry in the region and beyond. Highlights will include high-level networking, asset displays,
experience zones, and delegation programs, while space startups will have access to grants, funding,
and diverse investment opportunities, connecting them with corporate partners, investors, and end-
users.
VISTA, a dedicated hub for over 120 global aerospace startups and 50 investors, will also make a
return. As the premier platform for talented and innovative entrepreneurs from around the world,
this year’s edition will see increased investor participation, additional mentorship hours, and the
launch of emerging sectors that are transforming the future of the industry.
As the UAE fortifies its leadership in the aerospace evolution, this year’s edition of the record-
breaking Dubai Airshow will gather industry trailblazers and innovators, promising to exceed all
expectations.
