Dubai Hosted the Fourth Asgardia Executive Congress – Synergy for Humanity’s Cosmic Future
Dubai, UAE, 5th November 2025, Asgardia, the world’s first digital space nation, held its Fourth Asgardia Executive Congress in Dubai on 30 October 2025, followed by a press conference at The Duke Hotel.
The event gathered international dignitaries, members of Asgardia’s Parliament, scientists, and media representatives, uniting under the theme “Synergy for Humanity’s Cosmic Future.”
The presentation of the AES concept—a next-generation terrestrial analog of a space station—was met with enthusiastic applause, projecting a future where innovation, science, and sustainability converge in the UAE. The press conference featured Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli, Head of Nation of Asgardia, Lena De Winne, Prime Minister of Asgardia, and Lembit Öpik, Chairman of Parliament of Asgardia.
This landmark event underscored the UAE’s pivotal role in advancing the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which aims to double the emirate’s economy over the next decade and solidify Dubai’s position among the world’s leading hubs for innovation, trade, and investment. The Fourth Asgardia Executive Congress fostered unprecedented opportunities for collaboration with UAE universities, startups, and space organizations, driving both terrestrial and extraterrestrial initiatives.
Founded in 2016 by scientist and philanthropist Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli, Asgardia united over one million citizens from nearly 200 countries, forming a unique digital democracy with three independent branches of governance. The Legislative Branch comprised a non-partisan Parliament of 150 members representing 49 nations. The Executive Branch, led by the Prime Minister, oversaw 12 ministries. The Judicial Branch, headed by the Supreme Justice, encompassed constitutional, civil, administrative, and criminal departments.
“Asgardia is dedicated to preserving human civilization, wherever it may venture,” said Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli, Head of Nation. “Our Fourth Asgardia Executive Congress in Dubai not only reflected our progress toward this vision but also aligned with the UAE’s ambitions, where innovation is the cornerstone of economic and technological advancement.”
Key Themes of the Congress:
1. Asgardia’s Terrestrial Ark in the UAE
Central to Asgardia’s mission of enabling the birth of the first human child in space, the nation pursued a four-phase roadmap: Terrestrial Ark, Near-Earth Ark, Lunar Ark, and Stellar Ark. The Terrestrial Ark advanced through international isolation experiments, SIRIUS-21 and SIRIUS-23, the latter involving an Asgardian participant who endured 366 days of isolation. At the Congress, Asgardia unveiled the structure and capabilities of its state-of-the-art terrestrial complex in the UAE, integrated with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33—marking a significant milestone in its cosmic aspirations.
Asgardia Emirates Station (AES): The Terrestrial Ark of the Future
The Asgardia Emirates Station (AES) will represent the next evolution of Asgardia’s Terrestrial Ark — a ground-based experimental complex designed to simulate long- duration habitation for international mixed-gender crews under Earth, lunar, or interplanetary conditions.
Core Objectives:
- It develops infrastructure to study gravitational physiology, space biomedicine, and radiation safety.
- It enables research on closed life-support systems and human adaptation in isolation environments.
- It serves as a UAE-based Research, Education, and Public Outreach Center for near and deep space exploration.
- It creates a Technology Transfer Hub to integrate space technologies into healthcare and industry, while applying advanced terrestrial solutions to ensure crew safety.
“The Asgardia Emirates Station is humanity’s rehearsal for life beyond Earth,” said Dr Igor Ashurbeyli, Head of Nation, Asgardia. “Our collaboration with the UAE reflects shared values where progress, innovation, and imagination shape the future of civilization.”
“AES is more than an engineering project it’s a bridge between science and society,” added Lena De Winne, Prime Minister of Asgardia. “We’re inviting nations, investors, and universities to participate in a mission that redefines what’s possible on and beyond our planet.”
Complex Composition:
The Asgardia Emirates Station (AES) will include a nodal integration module, living and utility quarters, medical and technical modules, and specialized target modules — such as a greenhouse, perinatal center, biomedical and microbiological
laboratories, centrifuge systems for artificial gravity, and radiation simulation units.
Designed with adaptability and AI-assisted operation, AES will enable continuous research, maintenance, and modernization without interrupting experiments. Its modular architecture will support public engagement, tourism, and education, making it a distinct landmark within the framework of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.
Thus, AES will bridge Asgardia’s cosmic vision with the UAE’s terrestrial innovation, symbolizing humanity’s first step toward sustainable life beyond Earth.
2. Asgardia’s Digital Ecosystem
For the first time, the Congress introduced Asgardia’s groundbreaking digital platform, available for download on Google Play and Apple’s App Store. Far more than a standard app, this system represents a comprehensive digital ecosystem, integrating a messenger, social network, digital wallet, and government services.
This super-app has become the central hub for Asgardia’s targeted 150 million citizens, redefining the concept of a digital society and strengthening Asgardia’s status as the world’s first digital space nation with a fully integrated infrastructure.
During the Congress, the application was presented to international media, who were given an in-depth overview of its key features and functionality. Head of Nation elaborated on how the digital ecosystem connects citizens around the world, providing seamless access to next-generation communication, governance, and financial tools.
3. Declaration of Sovereignty
In August 2024, during the XII session of Asgardia’s Supreme Space Council on the Greek island of Corfu, the nation adopted and signed its Declaration of Independence.
This historic document, in accordance with international law, unilaterally proclaimed Asgardia’s full state sovereignty—encompassing independent governance, jurisdiction, legislation, and international relations.
At the Congress, the Head of Nation announced that Asgardia would formally appeal to the 193 United Nations member states for recognition as a sovereign nation, marking a pivotal moment in its journey.
4. Claiming Terrestrial Territory
In a groundbreaking announcement, Asgardia asserted for the first time its rights to a physical territory on Earth during the press conference at the conclusion of the Congress.
This declaration revealed that Asgardia’s claimed territory is located in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica — one of the few unclaimed regions on the planet under the Antarctic Treaty System.
This strategic and symbolic choice reinforces Asgardia’s unique status not only in the digital realm but also in the physical world, representing humanity’s peaceful presence on Earth’s final frontier.
This exclusive statement was a highlight of the Congress and was revealed to the global public for the first time.
Aligned with the UAE’s Vision for Innovation
Hosting the Asgardia Congress in Dubai reflects the UAE’s growing role as a global hub for innovation, trade, and space exploration, in line with Dubai’s Economic Agenda D33 and the UAE Space Strategy 2030.

NGTeco Reimagines Workforce Management for SMBs: Professional Biometrics Without the Enterprise Price Tag
United States, 18th Mar 2026, – While large corporations have long enjoyed the benefits of high-end biometric security, many small business owners are still stuck choosing between outdated paper logs or expensive, contract-heavy software. NGTeco is changing that narrative. Today, the company reaffirms its commitment to providing 100,000+ small businesses worldwide with the tools they need to manage their teams—minus the complexity and hidden costs.
Bridging the Gap for the Modern Shop Owner
For a local retail store or a busy clinic, every minute counts. NGTeco’s “Sophisticated Simplicity” philosophy focuses on creating an ecosystem where technology supports the business owner, rather than becoming another task to manage. By replacing manual punch card systems with Cloud Time Clock TC1 terminals, NGTeco helps managers reclaim their time and eliminate the constant headaches associated with manual payroll processing.
Reliable Technology Built for Real-World Workplaces
At the heart of NGTeco’s success is its industry-vetted Visible Light Facial Recognition series. These aren’t just gadgets; they are workhorses built for busy, high-traffic environments. Using advanced algorithms, the systems recognize employees in under a second—with flagship models clocking in at an impressive 0.3s. This technology is optimized to perform in diverse lighting and even while staff are wearing masks, ensuring a fast, hands-free “walk-through” experience that keeps the morning rush moving smoothly.
Enterprise-Grade Security Without the Monthly Bill
Data privacy is a top priority in 2026, and it shouldn’t be a luxury. NGTeco hosts its infrastructure on Amazon Web Services (AWS), protecting employee records with the same encryption standards (TLS 1.2 and AES 256-bit) used by global financial institutions.
However, what truly sets NGTeco apart in a crowded market is its stance on transparency. “We believe you should own your hardware and your data,” says a spokesperson for NGTeco. Unlike competitors who lock essential features behind a paywall, NGTeco maintains a no-mandatory-subscription model. Business owners get lifetime access to core features, including automatic hour calculation and mobile reporting via the NGTeco Office App, right out of the box.
A Specialized Vision for the Future
As NGTeco grows its footprint in North America, its focus remains narrow and deep: mastering the “Attendance” niche. By choosing to do one thing exceptionally well, NGTeco is helping a new generation of entrepreneurs build more resilient, tech-forward businesses.
For more details on how to simplify your team’s attendance, visit www.ngteco.com.
About NGTeco
Founded in the United States, NGTeco leverages nearly two decades of biometric technology experience to serve small and medium-sized businesses. Since 2018, the company has specialized in smart office solutions, combining its TC Series time clocks with the NGTeco Cloud platform to streamline workforce management.
