CST – Space Industry in KSA

The report by CST "Space Industry in KSA" explores the development and regulation of the space sector in Saudi Arabia. The Communications, Space and Technology Commission (CST) has expanded its mandate to include space sector regulation, complementing its telecommunications and technology oversight. This integration aids in creating a clear and efficient regulatory framework that benefits private sector involvement, especially in segments like satellite communications and Earth observation. The report highlights the importance of public-private partnerships to foster innovation, attract investments, and develop a thriving Saudi space sector. The CST, along with the Saudi Space Agency (SSA), plays a pivotal role in legislation, oversight, and promoting sector growth through partnerships, training, and startup support.
