Our partnership with Space42 is a long-term commitment built on a shared ambition: delivering sovereign space capability for the UAE. It is a privilege to work alongside one of the UAE’s national champions, combining ICEYE’s expertise in space-based intelligence with Space42’s local leadership to deliver sovereign capability that is already operational today. It also reflects the growing strategic collaboration between UAE and European companies in advanced technology and space. The successful deployment of the Foresight constellation is testament to what this partnership can achieve. It demonstrates that together we can execute complex sovereign programmes at speed, delivering advanced capability where and when it matters. We look forward to delivering much more together as we continue supporting the UAE’s vision of becoming a global leader in space, technology and sovereign capabilities. Proud of everyone across Space42 and ICEYE who made this possible!
Strong partnerships become truly valuable when they move beyond shared ambition into measurable execution. What stands out here is that the capability is already operational — turning a long-term strategic vision into something tangible today. A strong example of how international collaboration can create lasting value.
An exceptional milestone for the ICEYE and Space42 teams, Christos. Partnering with Karim and your regional teams to deploy an operational sovereign satellite constellation proves that regional resilience relies completely on securing robust non-terrestrial infrastructure layers to handle complex, real-time geospatial data loops.
Congrats Christos Kolimenakis wishing you continued success
Congratulations to Christos Kolimenakis on his appointment as CEO of ICEYE UAE. His arrival marks a new chapter in a partnership that has already delivered real sovereign capability for the nation. Together we brought the Foresight Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) constellation into service and established in-country satellite assembly, integration, and testing, with technology transfer at its core. Foresight sees day or night, through cloud and smoke, and its dual-use design serves national security priorities alongside civilian ones, from disaster response to critical-infrastructure monitoring. That pairing of ICEYE's radar intelligence with Space42's local leadership is how the most demanding programs get built. Foresight is also where a larger ambition begins. As we densify the constellation for faster revisit and richer sensing, the capability we have proven at home becomes capability we can take to the world, anchored in the Emirates and built to reach well beyond. Christos joins as that work enters its most exciting phase. Welcome, Christos.
