In2space Vision : An Exclusive Conversation with Dr. Fahad AlTuwaijri on Shaping the Future of Space Innovation
In2space Vision
In this insightful interview, Dr. Fahad AlTuwaijri, a key visionary behind In2Space, shares his perspective on the region’s emerging space sector, the strategic importance of collaboration between government, private sector, and startups, and how In2Space aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. He discusses the critical steps needed to build a sustainable and economically viable space ecosystem, while highlighting opportunities for innovation and regional leadership.
As the Middle East accelerates its ambitions in space technology and satellite applications, In2Space serves as the essential platform to foster knowledge exchange, innovation, and partnerships that will drive the sector forward. Dr. AlTuwaijri’s insights shed light on the transformative potential of the space industry and the collaborative efforts shaping its future in the region.
Interviewer: What inspired the launch of In2Space, and what makes it different from other space events in the region?
Dr. Fahad AlTuwaijri : In2Space will be the platform that brings together the global experts of satellite based data and innovative services that is critical for us to manage a sustainable future. Satellite and Space play an important role but more importantly end-users need more education and knowledge building which will be facilitated by In2Space Forum.
Interviewer: How does In2Space support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and its ambition to lead in space innovation and technology?
Dr. Fahad AlTuwaijri : Saudi Arabia is one of the first regional countries to think about space. What we now need is the ambition to make use of the infinite capabilities offered by Space and Satellite based Data and Innovation. Thus this in2space offers huge potential for Saudi space and satellite based solutions to empower our urban planning, agriculture, environment monitoring, desert storm and marine monitoring etc. Space offers innumerable solutions that impact our daily lives and let us make use of that.
Interviewer: Why is it important to bring together government bodies, private organizations, and SMEs on one platform like In2Space?
Dr. Fahad AlTuwaijri : Everyone is excited about space technology. However there are a lot of information gaps to make use of the technology that is already available. The In2space Forum will provide a platform bringing together end-users from Government, Business and SMEs with global and regional experts and capabilities.
Interviewer: What opportunities does In2Space offer to satellite innovators, technology providers, and startups from the region?
Dr. Fahad AlTuwaijri : In2Space brings together global and regional leaders from both traditional and new-space sectors alongside experts in ground-based satellite infrastructure. The conference will feature insightful presentations, interactive workshops, and a dynamic exhibition area highlighting the latest developments across the full satellite ecosystem.
Interviewer: In your view, what are the key steps to building a sustainable and economically viable space ecosystem in the region, and how does In2Space contribute to this vision?
Dr. Fahad AlTuwaijri : This is the first kind of an event that features discussing Earth observation and related applications offered by Space technology, and how tracking the world from space can provide useful information, such as the mapping of fallout after natural disasters, such as recent floods in Texas Americas or monitoring urban planning projects such as the Al Ula in KSA.
In2Space 2025, held in Riyadh on November 24–25, is a leading forum showcasing satellite-enabled applications across industries. It connects satellite developers, tech providers, and end-users to spark innovation and collaboration.
The event gathers global and regional space leaders for presentations, workshops, and exhibitions. Workshops link developers with users to identify gaps and define future mission needs. AI & Data Fusion roundtables tackle real-world challenges by integrating diverse satellite data.
The exhibition highlights innovations from satellite manufacturing to data analytics, impacting agriculture, urban planning, environmental monitoring, and smart infrastructure.
