Saudi Arabia’s Communications, Space and Technology Commission (CST) has concluded a series of specialised investment awareness sessions aimed at strengthening investor engagement and unlocking opportunities in the Kingdom’s rapidly growing space sector. Organised in partnership with the Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (VCPEA), the initiative sought to connect investors with high-potential space companies while building deeper understanding of the sector’s commercial potential.
The programme included targeted awareness events for investors and emerging space firms, alongside educational workshops designed to enhance sector-specific investment knowledge. These activities focused on narrowing the gap between innovation and capital by fostering stronger relationships across the space ecosystem.
The final session featured a presentation on key emerging space technologies and their investment prospects, followed by a panel discussion moderated by VCPEA Chief Executive Officer Qusai Al-Saif. Investors active in the space industry discussed recent sector developments, rising entrepreneurial activity, and increasing investor interest.
Panellists also explored the role of enabling technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, highlighting their growing impact across sectors including food security, urban development, and defence. The discussion underscored the rising volume of investment flowing into space-related technologies and their expanding real-world applications.
The awareness series forms part of CST’s broader strategy to position the space sector as a driver of economic diversification, startup growth, and national talent development, in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals.
