Organized in collaboration with Club de Politique et de Diplomatie Marocaines (CPDM), the conference highlighted how investment in space science, innovation, research, and human capital is strengthening technological sovereignty and shaping the future. It also reaffirmed the growing scientific and academic partnership between Morocco and the United Arab Emirates, inspiring the next generation to lead in science, technology, and the knowledge economy.
