DIFC Innovation Hub, in partnership with the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre, has selected 10 global startups for its Space-Enabled Geospatial Accelerator in Dubai.
The program aims to turn space technologies, Earth observation data and artificial intelligence into practical solutions for government and commercial sectors, supporting the UAE’s space economy.
The startups were chosen through the Space Labs for Earth platform, launched by Innovation Hub with the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre and Re/insurance company Reem. The platform connects space and Earth observation technologies with commercial expertise and industry needs.
Since the accelerator opened during the Dubai Airshow in November 2025, it received applications from 73 startups across 24 countries. According to the announcement, 63 met the eligibility requirements and 45 reached the interview stage.
The selected companies are Atlas AI, FlyPix AI, Geospatial Insight, GHG Sat, Latitude40, Little Place Labs, SatSure, SparkGeo, Stellaria and V-Nova.
They will work with three UAE public-sector entities, including Fada, part of EDGE Group, the National Marine Navigation Centre at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, and Dubai Civil Defence. Private-sector participants include Buro Happold and Liva Insurance, part of Liva Group. The teams will develop pilot projects to test and demonstrate the practical use of their proposed solutions.
