Overview

Space42 is an Abu Dhabi-headquartered, AI-powered SpaceTech company formed in October 2024 through the merger of satellite operator Yahsat and geospatial-AI firm Bayanat, both previously majority-owned by Mubadala Investment Company. It operates through two divisions — Space Services (satellite communications, including the Al Yah satellite fleet and emerging direct-to-device connectivity) and Smart Solutions (geospatial data, Earth observation and the GIQ AI-driven multi-intelligence platform). The company is publicly listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange and serves government and enterprise clients globally, including recent partnerships with Leonardo DRS (national security mission systems) and Autonomous A2Z (autonomous mobility).

Official Channels

Where Space42 publishes directly. Each link is checked for the correct platform and profile format.

A tick means the link resolves to a valid company profile URL on that platform. It does not confirm the account is operated by Space42 — that requires a signal only the platform or the company can give, so DXBi does not claim it.

Press & Announcements

Every item links back to its original source. Announcements are only marked as coming from Space42 when the link resolves to the company's own domain.
