Partnerships and global reach
LOF represents the UAE at global forums such as the EAIE Conference (Sweden), Smart Education Summit, Global STEM Conference, and IAC (Milan). Partnerships across Europe, India, and Africa ensure the ecosystem remains globally benchmarked and industry relevant.
Locally, LOF works with leading schools including GEMS Education (Wellington, Winchester, and Modern Academy), Bloom World Academy, Dwight School Dubai, Arcadia School, and Manthena American School. At the university level, it partners with Expo City Dubai, Curtin University Dubai, Amity University Dubai, and the University of Stirling, creating seamless pathways from school to higher education.
Beyond partnerships, LOF has become a hub for international student exchange and learning. Through its flagship Zero Gravity Workshop, students from across the world travel to Dubai for a six-day immersive programme in space technology. They collaborate with peers, engage in hands-on workshops on rocketry, robotics, AI, and satellite design, and experience the UAE’s vision for innovation first-hand.
Strategic agencies and industry
To sustain its ecosystem, LOF works with major agencies including NASA, ESA, ISRO, and ROSCOSMOS.
Industry collaborations span Space Copy, Transcend Satellite Technologies, Arkisys, iCreate Robotics, and Ministry of Experience, ensuring students work on cutting-edge, industry-relevant projects.
Events and community engagement
LOF doesn’t only build labs and missions, it builds culture. Each year, its calendar is filled with events that inspire students, parents and communities such as:
World Space Week celebrations with astronauts and ESA partners
Parent awareness sessions on future skills
Student Ambassador Programmes
Workshops on different technologies and missions in schools.
Webinars with space scientists and seminars with industry leaders
STEM exhibitions and family science festivals showcasing technologies built by students
Aligned with the UAE’s National Vision
The Orbita CubeSat mission is not only a milestone for LOF. It directly reflects the priorities of the UAE National Space Strategy 2030, which focuses on empowering youth, building the space economy, and fostering international collaboration.
By enabling students to design, build and launch real missions, LOF is putting these goals into practice at the school level.
This achievement also supports Dubai’s vision of becoming a global hub for knowledge, innovation, and future industries. By hosting international workshops, building STREAMER Labs across schools, and welcoming students worldwide for its Zero Gravity Workshop, LOF is turning Dubai into a living classroom for space science and technology.
A national milestone, a global future
The CubeSat mission is only the beginning. LOF is advancing new initiatives, from microgravity internships and lunar construction projects to satellite data decoding and orbital deployment systems. These programmes prepare UAE’s youth not only for today’s industries but for those that do not yet exist. The CubeSat launch in Russia is not just a student project; it’s a national milestone — proof that when education is connected to research and industry, extraordinary results follow.
As the CubeSat carried its data back to Earth, it also carried a message: the UAE’s next generation is ready to take its place at the forefront of global innovation.
Be part of the journey
At the Lab of Future, learning goes beyond exams and textbooks. Here, children aged 6-18 years discover curiosity, resilience and the confidence to solve real-world problems.
They may explore the stars, code with AI, fly drones, or capture galaxies through a telescope but more importantly, they learn how to think critically, collaborate and lead. Through hands-on projects, teamwork, and solving real-world challenges, students not only master technology but also develop the soft skills that matter most — creativity, communication, problem-solving, and resilience.
For students, it is where they face real-world challenges, build what they imagine, and discover the skills that prepare them for life.
