Al Hosani said: “The Space42 Arena will be a beacon of possibility, uniting local excellence and global ambition. Through this venue, together we aim to inspire a new era where technology, connectivity, and human potential converge, creating transformative experiences that resonate far beyond the UAE.”
Located on Al Raha Beach in Abu Dhabi, Space42 Arena is a new, multi-purpose venue that spans 4,000 square meters. Its main feature is a 2,500-square-meter indoor arena that can accommodate up to 3,000 guests.
Bayanat Smart Solutions’ Chief Operations Officer, Abdulla Al Shamsi, also commented on the securing of the arena’s naming rights, supporting Al Hosani’s statement of the aim to drive “innovation and excellence.”
“As we continue to push the boundaries of AI and space technology, the Space42 Arena will stand as a powerful symbol of our ambition to drive progress, foster collaboration, and make a lasting impact, both in the UAE and on the global stage,” Al Shamsi said.
