Eutelsat Group has signed a new agreement at IBC – International Broadcasting Convention 2024 with SABA World for the delivery of free-to-air educational content to students across the MENA region, in partnership with the Iraqi Ministry of Education.

SABA WORLD is a leading provider of added-value services for the broadcast industry in Iraq, the Middle East and neighbouring countries and through this new, multi-year contract, they will leverage our EUTELSAT 7 West A satellite of the MENA region to deliver access to a diverse range of educational and informative channels.

This new agreement both underscores the 7/8° West neighbourhood as the go-to position for broadcasters in the MENA region and highlights the important role satellite can play as a key infrastructure to faciliate social and education advancement.

We are deeply honoured to be selected by SABA WORLD to support them delivering educational content across the MENA region, making learning more accessible and more enjoyable than ever before. Our partnership with SABA WORLD, who play an important role as an added value reseller in the region, gives us a privileged access into the Iraqi market and beyond, and we are delighted to be working together. This agreement highlights the crucial role that satellite has to play in providing resources that advance social and educational goals, even in hard to reach areas.
