CABSAT 2025: The 31st edition of the premier broadcast and media event unveiled AI-driven breakthroughs, from fully
automated broadcast solutions (like SI Media’s Costanza AI that can automate speech to text) to exploring next-gen sports
broadcasting trends at the show’s Content Congress, as the MENA sports media market is projected to hit $6.5 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.”
