The Global Space Congress (GSC), held annually under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, serves as a pivotal platform for advancing the space sector in the Middle East and beyond. Since its inception in 2013 as the Global Space and Satellite Forum, GSC has facilitated significant discussions and initiatives, notably the formation of the Arab Space Cooperation Group in 2019.

Scheduled for September 25-26, 2024, at the St. Regis Abu Dhabi, the Congress promises to attract over 600 stakeholders, including key space agencies, commercial enterprises, and academic institutions. GSC emphasizes collaborative development and the implementation of innovative space and satellite technologies, providing extensive programming that includes strategic content sessions and networking opportunities to foster relationships within the industry.

Additionally, the Congress has been instrumental in announcing impactful projects like the UAE’s 813 mission and the Hope Probe, contributing to the nation's growing space infrastructure. Attendees can look forward to engaging with the latest trends and opportunities in the rapidly evolving space sector.
