Entering the Saudi Market – A Commitment to Vision 2030 

Saudi Arabia is not just a market — it’s a vision.

Through Vision 2030, the Kingdom is leading the Arab world into a new era of digital transformation, industrial intelligence, and scientific sovereignty.

Horizon Satellite joins this journey as a foreign-invested technology startup bringing more than five years of experience in AI-powered Earth Observation and geospatial intelligence.

Our goal is not only to offer services — but to build capabilities inside the Kingdo by developing Saudi-led teams, research projects, and technology partnerships.

Supported by Monsha’at Empowering Innovation and Growth 

The Saudi government’s Monsha’at program plays a crucial role in nurturing high-impact startups.

Under this umbrella, Horizon Satellite benefits from access to:

• Innovation and incubation programs.
• Market entry facilitation and business matching.
• Networking with investors, accelerators, and government partners.
• Participation in national innovation events and exhibitions.

This support allows us to grow responsibly and align our operations with Saudi market priorities and regulations.

Collaboration with the Ministry of Investment (MISA)   

Through MISA’s foreign investment framework, Horizon Satellite has established its operational presence in Saudi Arabia with full compliance to local standards.

We aim to contribute to MISA’s strategic objectives by:

• Attracting technology transfer into the Kingdom.
• Building local partnerships with Saudi companies and investors.
• Training and employing Saudi engineers and AI specialists.
• Expanding research cooperation with universities and space institutions.

This collaboration ensures that Horizon operates as part of the national innovation ecosystem, not outside it.

Building Strategic Alliances for Space and AI Localization    

Our strength lies in partnerships.

Horizon Satellite is forming alliances across four strategic fronts:

 Governmental Cooperation:

 With ministries and agencies in defense, agriculture, energy, and smart cities.

2️⃣ Academic Research:

 With universities such as Qassim University, KAUST, and KSU to train future Saudi engineers and AI experts.

3️⃣ Industry Collaboration:

 With Rajant Technologies, global imagery providers, and industrial entities for data integration and IoT solutions.

4️⃣ Investment Partnerships:

 With Saudi investors who believe in localization and the future of dual-use space innovation.

Together, these alliances build a Saudi-centered space ecosystem capable of serving the Arab world and Africa.

Dual-Use Innovation – Defense-Backed, Civilian-Driven  

The most successful global space startups were born from defense-backed R&D then evolved into civilian technologies for agriculture, energy, and infrastructure.

Horizon follows this proven model.

Our satellite analytics platform serves both defense and civil applications, creating opportunities for long-term collaboration and technology transfer within the Kingdom.

This approach accelerates localization, strengthens security, and expands economic potential.

Our Commitment to Localization 

Localization for us is not a slogan — it’s a process with measurable milestones.

We commit to:

• Establishing local assembly and integration labs for satellite components.
• Training Saudi data scientists and AI engineers.
• Hosting data and analytics infrastructure within Saudi data centers.
• Developing R&D centers for AI, IoT, and CubeSat simulation.

Each step brings us closer to Saudi-made space technology.

Global Cooperation – From Riyadh to the World 

While our heart is in Riyadh, our collaborations span the globe.

We cooperate with international satellite vendors, AI research institutions, and investors to bring world-class technology and adapt it for the region’s unique needs.

Horizon acts as a bridge between global innovation and Saudi ambition, ensuring that the Kingdom remains at the forefront of space and AI transformation.
