This talk will be presented at the United Nations World Data Forum and will focus on how the UAE is a pioneering country in all aspects of human domains such as infrastructure, education, economic growth, social affairs, trade, etc. In the 21^st century, the UAE witnessed a new era of development in technology and space exploration to drive the establishment of the knowledge economy and sustainable development in the country. In this perspective, the UAE has had effective contributions in the space sector by launching a series of earth observation satellites and promising initiatives to explore other planets. This talk will focus on the outcome of these projects in terms of data analysis and value added products. Furthermore, it will inform the public about the importance of remote sensing satellites for humanity and their vital role in the continual monitoring of the Earth’s surface and resources. Additionally, the talk will shed light on the UAE’s efforts in this sector and the objectives of MBRSC, which aim to develop a new generation of Emirati scientists and engineers specialized in satellite industry, and to develop smart applications that benefit the governmental bodies. The talk will also highlight the latest applications developed at MBRSC, such as an application to extract the coastline from satellite images, Super Resolution Tool for DubaiSat-2, Change Detection Application, and the SAFIY Project, among others. During the talk, examples of how remote sensing data has been efficient in saving time, money and effort of governmental entities will be presented.
