The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Demand for satellite data utilization is growing in the Middle East, but its practical use and commercialization remain at an early stage, and systems for providing ongoing local support and frameworks for public-private collaboration are insufficient. Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc. was also recognized for its Middle East network centered on its Dubai office, as well as its ability to execute projects ranging from policy and business research to support for implementation in society.
