His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, affirmed that "private companies operating in the UAE in space industries have qualitative contributions and achievements that contribute to enhancing the country's position as the leading and most advanced center in the space sector in the region."
