Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Supplier SKYBER Aerospace has signed a multi-year partnership with Dubai-based Sibia Technologies to address the growing demand for UAV systems in the Middle East and Africa (MEA).
This collaboration aims to deliver UAV systems for the commercial and defense sectors, with a focus on localization of operations to meet regional needs. The partnership will cover key areas such as product sales, service, maintenance, training and technology integration.
Address regional trade and defense needs
He association aligns with the MEA region’s growing need for UAV technologies, driven by increased defense budgets and investments in sectors such as oil and gas, agriculture and construction.
SKYBER Aerospace will focus on the supply of advanced UAV systems, while Sibia Technologies will handle local operations, including sales, customer relations and logistics.
According to forecasts, the MEA UAV market is expected to reach $5.3 billion by 2029, presenting significant opportunities for both companies.
Highlighting the importance of the partnership, Joseph George, CEO and co-founder of SKYBER Aerospace, said: “Countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and parts of Africa are expected to be major consumers of UAV technology due to their growing budgets. of defense”. , need for border security and investments in modern technology for commercial sectors.”
With the aim of obtaining large defense contracts.
The partnership aims to secure large Defense contracts, address commercial needs in the oil and gas, construction and agriculture sectors, and maintain technological leadership in UAV solutions.
Sibia Technologies will leverage its existing partnerships with leading telecom operators in the Middle East and Africa region to enable UAV solutions using public and private 5G networks.
“We are happy to announce this partnership with SKYBER Aerospace. It is a symbiotic relationship in which companies leverage their strengths to grow in a competitive market. We will take an integrated role in delivering UAV systems and managing after-sales services, such as training operators, providing support services, performing after-sales engineering support and ensuring regulatory compliance,” said Nour Al Atassi, CEO of Sibia Technologies.
Improved local support and training
The partnership will focus on localizing services to ensure that customers in the MEA region receive high-quality support. Sibia Technologies will establish training centers to help operators improve their skills in unmanned aerial vehicles, ensuring safer and more efficient use of the systems.
Additionally, the partnership will provide faster response times, ground maintenance and easier access to spare parts, reducing operational downtime.
The partnership aims to reduce potential obstacles and make UAV solutions more cost-effective by helping customers navigate local UAV regulations and acquire necessary permits.
This focus on localized support is expected to improve overall customer experience and satisfaction in the MEA region.
Developing fully autonomous drones
Looking ahead, the partnership between SKYBER Aerospace and Sibia Technologies plans to introduce cutting-edge innovations in UAV technology.
This includes the development of fully autonomous drones with AI-powered navigation and decision-making systems. These advances will address the military and security needs of the region, particularly in terms of surveillance and border protection.
Both companies are also exploring new technologies, such as drone swarming, that could be used in defense operations, disaster response and large-scale surveillance.
In addition to defense applications, companies are also working on precision agriculture, construction monitoring and cargo transportation, further diversifying use cases for UAV technology in the region.
