ELT Group, a global leader in Electronic Warfare (EW) systems, and D-Orbit, a pioneering company
in the space logistics and in-orbit services sector, have established a strategic cooperation
framework aimed at fostering long-term collaboration in the space domain.
The signing was formalized within the context of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030
objectives, with the purpose of creating a stable and coherent basis for joint activities aligned with
national priorities for technological development, industrial growth, and localization.
The Saudi Ministry of Investment sponsored the agreement signing ceremony, highlighting – with
the presence of a representative of the Minister – the importance of the initiative.
The agreement outlines a shared commitment to jointly assess and pursue business development
opportunities, while strengthening industrial and technological cooperation in key capability areas,
including RF spectrum monitoring, extensive cyber capabilities, satellite platforms, and in-orbit
services, with specific reference to the Kingdom. By leveraging their complementary expertise and
assets, the two parties aim to contribute to the development of an advanced and resilient space
ecosystem capable of supporting both institutional and commercial requirements.
Enzo Benigni, Chairman and Ceo of Elt Group comments “For ELT Group, space represents the
new frontier of information superiority backed by RF monitoring, surveillance and intelligence
systems. The collaboration with D-Orbit allows us to accelerate this path by integrating our advanced
capabilities in electromagnetic spectrum analysis and cyber intelligence with next-generation orbital
platforms. Together, we can contribute to building a space infrastructure that not only meets the
objectives of Vision 2030, but also strengthens the Kingdom’s ability to generate, protect, and enhance strategic data from space. This agreement confirms ELT Group’s commitment to being a
key technological partner in orbital missions and services.”
Luca Rossettini, CEO of D-Orbit Group said “Space is becoming an increasingly strategic domain
for national security, resilience, and technological sovereignty. This cooperation framework with ELT
Group brings together complementary capabilities across advanced sensing and spectrum
awareness, cyber, and orbital infrastructure domains, enabling the development of space-based
services designed to support secure communications, situational awareness, and data integrity. By
working together and in alignment with the Kingdom’s national priorities, we aim to contribute to the
development of trusted, locally anchored capabilities that strengthen long-term operational readiness
while supporting the growth of a competitive domestic space industry.”
A central component of the framework is the exploration of industrial cooperation models consistent
with Saudi national localization policies. These include initiatives related to local manufacturing, the
transfer of strategic technologies and capabilities, and the development of domestic industrial and
technological competencies. In this context, ELT Group and D-Orbit — also through their respective
Saudi entities, Elettronica for Industry LLC and D-Orbit Saudi LLC — are strategically positioned to
support future space-related activities in the Kingdom, in alignment with national industrial
development objectives and with a view to addressing both domestic needs and potential export
markets.
The foreign direct investment envisaged under this cooperation, encompassing manufacturing
capabilities and the sharing of strategic know-how, is expected to contribute to strengthening Saudi
Arabia’s competitiveness in the global space sector.
