This collaboration aligns with UAE’s ambition for economic development through boosting space tourism. This would establish an open economic ecosystem, attracting investments to the country along with boosting sustainable development.

AzurX, a private Dubai-based company will be working alongside Blue Origin as UAE’s strategic advisor, with the purpose to provide the space tourism company with localisation strategy in the UAE and to help in customer management for future flights in the Emirates.
