Nov. 9, Manama (BNA): The CEO of the Bahrain Space Agency (BSA), Dr. Mohammed Ebrahim Al Aseeri, took part in the release of the report “Space Industry in the United Arab Emirates: Current Trends and Perspectives” by SpaceTech in Gulf, a Middle Eastern and North African space-market analytics firm.
BSA participates in UAE Space Industry Report launch
The research is a specialized study that offers a thorough examination of the United Arab Emirates’ space industry environment. By examining 247 domestic and foreign organizations that collectively make up the current state of the UAE’s space industry, it illustrates the growth of the sector.
It is a useful resource for comprehending the present and future dynamics of one of the most active space industries in the region. It also includes four expert papers and fourteen unique interviews with prominent players in the space industry.
As part of the BSA’s efforts to improve regional collaboration and knowledge exchange, this participation is strategically significant. It is consistent with Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates’ continued strategic collaboration, which was previously demonstrated by the joint satellite project “Light-1” that was launched in 2021.
Additionally, the project supports the BSA’s goal of using regional experience to improve national skills and strengthening the Kingdom’s position as an active partner in the regional and global space sector.
According to Dr. Al Aseeri, the event complements the Bahrain Space Agency’s strategic goals for 2024–2028 in a number of important areas. The first goal is to develop strategic alliances by studying public-private collaboration best practices, using the UAE’s experience as a model. Bahrain has already greatly profited from the second approach, which focuses on creating national capacities through effective regional models of growing local competencies. The third entails fostering innovation through interaction with the most recent developments in cutting-edge space technologies. The fourth seeks to use space technologies in fields like food security and environmental monitoring to support sustainable development.
