How the Space Industry Can Help Future-Proof Life on Earth – International Experts Gather in Dubai to Discuss
SATExpo Summit 2025 welcomes 40 global thought leaders to decode the next frontier of space technology UAE, May, 2025: Decision makers and policy pioneers from the space sector will gather in Dubai to discuss trends and challenges in the new space economy at SATExpo Middle East 2025, which takes place from May 13 to 15, 2025, at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). The two-day event's summit will look at how satellites can transform life on earth, with topics including 'Space Technology Adoption in Emerging Markets,' 'The Road to In-Orbit Sustainability,' 'AI's Role in Transforming the Use of Satellite Data,' and more. With the satellite sector booming – projected to grow at 16.1% annually – the Summit's expert-led sessions will tackle urgent questions: How can space tech combat climate crises? Where does AI intersect with orbital infrastructure? And who's redefining connectivity beyond terrestrial limits? Futureproofing from orbit – a critical mission From LEO revolutions to AI-driven satellite data, the summit's speaker roster reads like a who's-who of innovators and forward-thinkers within this rapidly growing industry. Highlights include an opening address by Amer AlSayegh, Assistant Director General for Aerospace Engineering Sector at Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC); Rivada Space Networks unveiling Outernet, a game-changer in secure global connectivity; SpaceData merging AI, digital twins, and pharmaceutical research in zero gravity, plus Astroscale Japan Inc., Es'hailSat, Axiom Space, Neo Space Group, and 30+ more pioneers dissecting the $22.5B+ satellite economy. 'Terrestrial systems are fragmented – space is the answer,' declares Joe Apa, Rivada Space Networks VP MEA, ahead of his keynote on LEO's future. 'Today's global enterprises and government networks require infrastructure solutions that address the issues of cybersecurity, latency, and speed associated with the complexity and fragmentation of terrestrial systems,' Apa continued. 'At the SATExpo ME Summit, I will proudly represent Rivada, delivering a keynote speech on the 'Future of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Services'. Moreover, attendees visiting the stand can explore our latest service, 'Outernet', which is a revolutionary private network satellite that redefines global connectivity.' While Apa envisions a connected future from orbit, Takata pushes boundaries further, where space data meets AI to redefine industries beyond Earth. Atsushi Takata, Executive Vice President, Space Utilisation and Global Strategy, SpaceData, said: 'At SpaceData, our mission is to merge the realms of 'space' and 'digital' by integrating technologies from satellites, space stations, and lunar exploration with AI, 3DCG, and digital twins. Our recent investment in Exobiosphere, a Luxembourg-based biotechnology company pioneering pharmaceutical research in space, is a testament to our commitment to advancing innovation at the intersection of these fields. I look forward to discussing 'AI's role in Transforming Use of Satellite Data and Bridging New Space Economy' at the upcoming Summit.'

Thailand Woman Claims She Found A Man Hiding Under Her Hotel Bed In Japan: "Saw 2 Eyes Staring..."
Natalisi Taksisi, a solo traveller from Thailand, had a terrifying experience in Japan when she discovered a man hiding under her hotel bed. In a viral video, Ms Taksisi shared that she had chosen Japan for its perceived safety, but her dream trip turned into a nightmare. Despite the hotel's key card system, a stranger somehow gained access to her room, leaving her shaken. After the man fled, Ms Taksisi reported the incident to hotel staff, who called the police. However, she faced additional challenges, including non-functional CCTV cameras on the property, the hotel's refusal to provide a full refund despite her traumatic experience and difficulty obtaining a copy of her police report. Authorities did find a power bank and USB cable left behind in the room. Ms Taksisi then checked into another hotel that night but faced ongoing issues with the hotel's response to the incident. "I found a man under my bed in a hotel room in Japan. This was supposed to be a safe solo trip. What happened changed everything. REMARK: I spent 510$ for the APA hotel," the post was captioned on Instagram. Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Natali (@natalisi_taksisi) The viral video sparked strong reactions from social media users, with many expressing outrage and concern. Some comments included calls to ban the hotel on booking platforms, while others warned other solo female travellers to avoid the hotel chain. One user wrote, "This hotel has to be banned on every booking platform." Another commented, "The fact that he had a power bank with him must mean he was well prepared to wait for you to come and fall asleep before doing something! I'm glad you followed your instincts and checked. I'm thankful that you're safe now, and I hope all the best for the justice you deserve." A third said, "I'm not saying that Japan is unsafe, but the Apa hotel is not safe. Japan is a nice country." A fourth added, "You may want to follow up with the Japanese police. If my hunch is correct, the man could be a former guest and potentially police could investigate via prior check in records. Unfortunately Japanese police are generally not proactive and, they will see this as 'nothing happened' so you will have to keep following up before they will action."
