Since 2010, the WSRF has brought the space community together
“We are honoured as Emiratis to be hosting the World Space Risk Forum of 2022 here in Dubai, and also on behalf of the Mohamed bin Rashid Space Centre, I would like to express my pleasure to be a partner of the forum, which we have offered our continued support to, since 2010”
— Salem Al Marri
“Space is our tomorrow and holds the key to the continued evolution of mankind. It’s not surprising that the UAE as a forward thinking and pioneering nation has made a strategic decision to invest and grow the space sector. This is the fifth time that we will be holding the WSRF in Dubai and the conference has grown in significance with a commitment to evolve and innovate.”
— Laurent Lemaire
A decade of history.
The WSRF has sparkled wide-ranging discussions related to innovation within the space sector and risk management with an emphasis on learning from the past, sharing ideas and looking to the future.
