Conservation and commercials combined
Join the broader industry ecosystem as we explore and examine new business and finance models, opportunities, challenges and outlooks. Take part in deep conversations and help shape the industry across topics spanning.
What to expect:
Executive Discussions
More than half of the attendees at SATExpo are high-level executives, and this is reflected in the speakers on the program. The agenda includes talks on future trends and trajectories, the global launch and manufacturing markets, and the strategies of leading companies.
Financial Insights
The satellite industry is constantly evolving, and SATExpo is the place to learn about the most important trends in the marketplace for investors. From SPACs and mergers & acquisitions to new markets and technology investments, SATExpo covers it all.
Technical Content
A technology-driven industry needs technical content to stay ahead of the curve. SATExpo's technology & engineering content is unparalleled, attracting the brightest minds in the industry to share their insights.
Emerging Tech
Satellites are now playing a major role in addressing some of the world's biggest problems, from climate change to geopolitical conflicts. We will explore the latest technologies emerging from the industry and discuss what's next by talking to those who are on the front lines.
End-User Markets
Space and satellite technology have had a major impact on the evolution of many industries, including government/military, transportation, energy & utilities, telecommunications, and more. Sessions will feature experts from these markets who are at the forefront of incorporating satellite applications into their company's business strategy for future growth.
Regional Focus
Each geographical region has its own unique challenges and opportunities, and a one-size-fits-all strategy often doesn't work. SATExpo content takes the same targeted approach, bringing together a panel of professionals and companies directly involved in the region and technology being discussed to ensure that the conversation is focused and action-oriented.

Satellite & HAPS: Transformational Technology Disruption, Service Resilience
Various direct satellite-to-device services have now emerged based on technologies that have attracted a lot of attention. Early direct satellite-to-device services typically only offered SOS-type alerts and text messaging, but these early-stage services have transitioned, developing into more widely attractive offerings of internet access and video. This panel will examine what the different technologies have in common and ask if we are witnessing moves towards some form of standardisation, or a countervailing movement that is off-trend and favouring proprietary solutions.

Into the Blue: Flying and Sailing with Satcoms
Crews and passengers on aeroplanes, ships, and railways, and in cars, all share the expectation that, no matter their location, there should be no limitations to broadband access to the internet, with uninterrupted service capable of supporting streaming, social media, and bandwidth hungry work applications. This session will undertake a detailed exploration the future of these mobility markets for a technologically fast-evolving satellite sector, both space and ground segment.

Fireside Chat: Turning Constellations into Networks – A New Connectivity Architecture for the Middle East Region
Today’s connectivity revolution and digital transformation brings ever-increasing demands and opportunities. With billions of new devices coming online, transforming what we expect from our satellite and wireless networks, we take a look at how one LEO network will enable the new connectivity of the future.
14:20 - 15:10
The Digital Cloud in Orbit
This session will be an exploration of the advantages of incorporating the Cloud – plus its logical extensions of virtualisation and edge-computing – into satellite businesses to fulfil the full potential of satellite’s full interoperability with telcos and MNOs, with satellites as switches in the greater telecommunications ‘network of networks’. There is an increasingly widespread adoption of cloud-native platforms and methodologies but the question is whether this is adoption of something monolithic or manifest as fragmented, siloed, and differentiated Cloud infrastructures that don’t readily scale.

Connectivity: What the Underserved Want, What the Underserved Get
“Serving the underserved” encompasses both the digital divide between developed nations and countries with a poorly developed capacity to secure reliable internet broadband access; and, the digital divide between well-served urban and suburban areas and underserved rural and remote regions. What are the principal barriers to serving the underserved – Is it connectivity? Or, is it affordability? Or, is it regulatory? What is the role of Universal Service Funds? This panel will attempt to answer these and other questions vexing providers, governments, and those on the other side of the divide.
