ReshapeRisks is a trusted advisor to global satellite operators navigating the intricate policy and regulatory challenges of the Middle East & North Africa.
The firm is engaged by Government Relations and Regulatory Affairs executives to drive forward policy and regulatory objectives and achieve sustainable satcom technology adoption and deployment in the region. Mandates consistently address region-specific issues such as unclear regulations, external political dynamics, delayed regulatory processes, and deeper regional strategy issues.
Clients gain a curated regulatory path and direct connection with policy and decision makers across government levels and bodies, delivering fast, de-risked and sustainable market access. More on why we engage decision makers across government levels and bodies to shrink time-to-market in our approach section, below.
Market access for satellite operators in this region is shaped by more than the regulatory process. Institutional priorities, ministerial mandates, and interagency dynamics all bear on how and when a decision moves.
The nature of each mandate determines how ReshapeRisks engages. Some assignments call for a clear-eyed assessment of the regulatory landscape — understanding what frameworks exist, where gaps lie, and what a realistic path to compliance or market entry looks like. Others involve active regulatory navigation, where the work is to move a process forward that has stalled or lacks a defined pathway.
Where the situation demands it, engagement extends further. Work in these cases often begins at the level of central government where policy direction is set, running in parallel across the regulatory body, relevant ministries, and the wider government ecosystem, aligning stakeholder incentives at each level as the process unfolds. This methodology has been refined across mandates and reflects how decisions on satcom adoption are actually made in the Arab world, and who makes them.
