Vision & Mission
Our vision is to transform space technology into accessible national capability for Saudi Arabia and the wider Arab and African regions. Our mission is to merge AI, Earth Observation, IoT, and edge processing to deliver actionable, real-time intelligence for agriculture, energy, urban development, industry, and defense — in full alignment with national transformation goals.
Founder’s Story — A Life in Technology
Our founder’s journey began at 18:
witnessing the birth of the commercial internet, championing early dial-up access, introducing digital lines, distributing broadband and mobile devices, and building technology operations across multiple countries. That journey forged a simple belief: the next frontier is space, and the Arab world must not watch from the sidelines. Horizon is the instrument of that belief — headquartered in Riyadh, operating Cairo and Istanbul branches, and uniting experienced engineers with young local talent.

Proven in the Field
Hyperspectral satellite analysis of a ~772-feddan palm estate (NDVI, GNDVI, SAVI, water-stress and density mapping). It revealed that only ~20% of the land was actually planted — giving the owner a precise baseline for expansion and irrigation planning.
AI-based geospatial analysis supporting a cement-sector operator in raw-material exploration and quarry site management — fully remote, with no field visits, cutting exploration time and cost.
Delivered two satellite remote-sensing training programmes, building national talent in Earth Observation data, analytics and AI workflows.
