Reflecting significantly increasing opportunities in the commercial space industry and the UAE's ambitions to become a global leader in the field, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce will lead a first-of-its-kind U.S. Department of Commerce Certified Space Business Mission to the UAE to coincide with the Abu Dhabi Space Debate in early December. This Mission is a joint effort led by the U.S. Chamber's U.S.-UAE-Business Program and Cyber, Space, and National Security Policy team.

We will leverage our strong track record of convening U.S. business leaders with top Emirati and U.S. government officials to organize conversations focused on project and investment opportunities in the UAE's expansive space sector. Through private briefings, site visits, panels, and more, delegates will learn about the UAE’s space and advanced technology landscape directly from key Emirati decisionmakers and policy leaders.

The Business Delegation will have two days of programming in Abu Dhabi, which will include time at the Abu Dhabi Space Debate, and one day in Dubai with business networking engagements in each city. The U.S. Chamber will work to secure meetings with the following officials, agencies, and organizations, in addition to others:

• Minister of State of Foreign Trade; 
• UAE Space Agency;
• Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre;
• Space42;
• Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Advanced Science and Technology;
• Mubadala Investment Company;
• U.S. Embassy Abu Dhabi; and more

• Sponsorship Registration: $10,000 for 3 delegates plus additional benefits.
  • For additional information on sponsorships, please contact Steve Lutes.
• Corporate Registration: $6,500 for 2 delegates
• Individual Registration: $4,000 per delegate

The U.S. Chamber will arrange a hotel block, but kindly note that participating delegates will be financially responsible for their airfare and lodging accommodations. More details are forthcoming.
