Alghanim Industries Brings Starlink's Groundbreaking Satellite Internet to Global Markets - Middle East Business News and Information
What happens when one of the Middle East's most dynamic companies joins forces with a global space-tech pioneer? The future gets a fast-forward.
Bringing Space-Age Connectivity to Earth: Seamless streaming, video calls, remote work, education, and other innovations are now possible — anywhere on Earth
Alghanim Industries (Kutayba Alghanim Group), one of the largest privately-owned companies in the MENA region, has inked a landmark agreement with SpaceX's Starlink, the world's most advanced satellite internet provider.
Through this game-changing agreement, Alghanim Industries becomes an official global channel for Starlink's advanced low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation — the most sophisticated internet system ever deployed. This technology aims to shatter connectivity barriers, delivering high-speed, low-latency internet anywhere, to even the world's most isolated communities — whether you're in a bustling city, a desert camp, or sailing through open waters.
To drive this innovation, Alghanim Industries is unveiling Sama X, a bold new tech venture and authorized Starlink global reseller that brings Starlink technology to life for millions of potential users across the Middle East, North Africa, India, Turkey, Pakistan, and beyond.
'Our agreement with Starlink marks more than a milestone for connectivity—it's a leap toward a borderless digital future where education, innovation, and opportunity know no limits. We are committed to providing internet from space to unlock opportunities on Earth,' said Kutayba Y. Alghanim, Executive Chairman of Alghanim Industries.
A Quantum Leap in Global Connectivity:
Starlink isn't your typical internet provider. It's a space-powered constellation of over 7,000 low-Earth orbit satellites (LEO), delivering blazing-fast internet to over 5 million users in 118+ countries. Since 2020, SpaceX has launched more LEO satellites than all other providers combined, building an unparalleled infrastructure that delivers fiber-like speeds without the constraints of traditional ground-based networks.
Unlike traditional satellite systems orbiting thousands of kilometers above Earth, Starlink's LEO network operates much closer to the surface—dramatically reducing latency and delivering real-time internet experiences: crystal-clear video calls, immersive online gaming, uninterrupted streaming, and mission-critical business communications, all possible from anywhere.
A Universe of Possibilities:
Starlink's technology is already transforming industries: Healthcare: Powering telemedicine for rural clinics
Manufacturing: Enabling real-time data and diagnostics across global supply chains
Telecommunications: Cost-effectively extend their networks into underserved areas, using satellite connectivity as a high-reliability backhaul
Education & Employment: Allowing students and professionals in remote areas to engage in a digital economy
Maritime: Delivering high-speed, low-latency internet to vessels worldwide, revolutionizing navigation, operations, and crew welfare at sea
Introducing Sama X: A Bridge to the Future
Born from Alghanim's legacy of innovation, Sama X is designed to be the region's trusted partner in next-generation connectivity. As a Starlink reseller, Sama X combines cutting-edge space technology with local market expertise, delivering not just the technology but a turnkey digital transformation solution—from customer onboarding, installation, and activation to implementation and local support.
'With Sama X, we're not just connecting people—we're enabling a digitally prosperous future. We're building bridges to education, remote jobs, global markets, and innovation ecosystems,' said Mahmoud Samara, CEO of Alghanim Industries. 'From remote learning and telemedicine to remote work and cloud-based businesses, we're helping create a more connected, inclusive, and empowered world—starting now.'
A New Era from MENA to South Asia:
The vision is already taking root. Starlink services have received regulatory approvals in Jordan, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, and Yemen, while Saudi Arabia has authorized Starlink for use in the aviation and maritime sectors—ushering in a new age of mobility and smart infrastructure.

Elon Musk says Trump's agenda bill ‘undermines' DOGE mission
CNN — Elon Musk raised concerns about President Donald Trump's sweeping tax and spending cuts package, saying in a video released Tuesday that he believes it would raise the US budget deficit and undercut efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency. 'I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,' the tech billionaire and Trump donor told 'CBS Sunday Morning.' 'I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful, but I don't know if it can be both.' Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' includes trillions of dollars in tax cuts and a big boost to the US military and to national security spending – largely paid for by overhauls to federal health and nutrition programs and cuts to energy programs. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that the bill would pile another $3.8 trillion to the deficit. It narrowly passed the House last week, and now heads to the Senate, where it will likely face many changes. Musk's comments come amid a media tour ahead of a SpaceX test flight Tuesday evening. Musk is stepping away from full-time government work to focus on his companies, including SpaceX and Tesla, which have struggled in part as a result of Musk's alliance with the Trump administration. He noted the move in an interview with Ars Technica on Tuesday, hours before SpaceX's Starship test flight. 'I think I probably did spend a bit too much time on politics, it's less than people would think, because the media is going to over-represent any political stuff, because political bones of contention get a lot of traction in the media,' he said when asked whether he feels his focus on politics over the past year has 'harmed' SpaceX. 'It's not like I left the companies. It was just relative time allocation that probably was a little too high on the government side, and I've reduced that significantly in recent weeks.' Musk also noted last week that he'll spend 'a lot less' money on politics in the future, but it's still not clear whether the remarks signal any change in his pledge to commit $100 million into political groups controlled by the president. Musk previously spent more than $290 million to help get Trump and GOP congressional candidates elected in November. Musk-linked groups also shelled out more than $20 million on a Wisconsin Supreme Court race earlier this year that his preferred candidate ultimately lost. Musk also continued to defend the work DOGE has been doing in Washington, telling the Washington Post on Tuesday that the team has become a 'whipping boy.' 'DOGE is just becoming the whipping boy for everything,' he said. 'So, like, something bad would happen anywhere, and we would get blamed for it even if we had nothing to do with it.' CNN has previously reported that DOGE is poised to continue its work even as Musk steps back, with staffers to remain in place, embedded across federal agencies, for months or years to come. CNN's Hadas Gold contributed to this report.

SpaceX Loses Control with Starship During 9th Test Flight
Rana Atef Early Wednesday, SpaceX launched its Starship for the ninth time ever on a test flight that featured the first-ever significant reuse of Starship hardware. Starship's two stages separated as planned on Flight 9, and the upper stage even reached space. However, both stages failed before they could accomplish their full flight goals. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk wrote on social media after the flight, "Starship made it to the scheduled ship engine cutoff, so big improvement over last flight!" "Leaks caused loss of main tank pressure during the coast and re-entry phase. Lot of good data to review." Musk said the next three Starship test launches could lift off every three to four weeks in the days ahead. SpaceX is developing Starship, which is expected to be the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built, to help humanity settle the moon and Mars.. The vehicle's two stages are a giant booster called Super Heavy and a 171-foot-tall (52 meters) upper-stage spacecraft known as Starship. Both are designed to be fully reusable, and both are powered by SpaceX's new Raptor engine — 33 of them for Super Heavy and six for Ship. The launch was a new milestone for SpaceX marking the first-ever reuse of a Super Heavy boostergure it out." read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies
