LSE Space Middle East will be silver sponsor at the next Global Space Technology Forum, which will gather several Middle East and African space projects on 7-9 December in Abu Dhabi, and confirms its commitment in this rapidly evolving market.

Frank Niehaus, CEO of LSE Space Middle East, declared: “The Global Space Technology Forum is the first dedicated forum for space technologies in the Middle East. We attended last year's event and have increased our involvement in 2009, as part of our commitment to the UAE and the local companies dealing with space activities. This region needs more access to space to accommodate the increasing demand of the local population for modern communication means and Earth Observation Systems. Space technology is a lighthouse technology for every country, as it helps to develop leading edge technologies and advanced engineering know-how.”
