Recent years have witnessed an unprecedented surge in space activities across Africa and the Middle East, a trend that is expected to grow exponentially.
Taking place prior to Egypt International Airshow as part of its official program, ‘New Space Horizons - Africa and the Middle East’ will tackle the issues most pertinent to the African and Middle Eastern space community.
The conference will play host to VIP delegations from across the region, with representation from both established and emerging space programs. Attendees can expect to hear from an unrivaled speaker-line up, ranging from Space Agency Presidents and CEO’s, to Industry Executives and Intergovernmental Organisations.
