Space Imaging Middle East · Dubai, UAE
Operating since 1997
COMPANY / HISTORY

From regional satellite imagery to end-to-end geospatial delivery.

SIME was founded in Dubai in 1997 and has expanded from satellite imagery into aerial survey, GIS, location technology and geospatial production.

INTERNAL REVIEW: The existing site contains conflicting dates for several historic milestones (Google partnership, UAV and aerial survey). Do not publish a detailed milestone timeline until management provides one authoritative history.

1997 — SIME founded in Dubai

This is the confirmed starting point for the public timeline.

Timeline reconciliation required: confirm authoritative dates and wording for aerial survey, UAV capability, Google relationship, Esri milestones and other ‘company of firsts’ claims.

Current position

SIME today operates as a regional geospatial provider spanning high-resolution satellite imagery, aerial survey and mapping, enterprise GIS, location technology and emerging AI-assisted geospatial workflows.
