The Fourth Asgardia Executive Congress was held in Dubai, and the city welcomed the world’s pioneers and space enthusiasts, thereby making it another proud moment for the innovation landscape of the city. The Duke Hotel was the venue for the Congress, which attracted international dignitaries, scientists, and media personalities under the inspiring theme “Synergy for Humanity’s Cosmic Future.”
The Fourth Asgardia Executive Congress was meant to bring together creative geniuses who are working towards mankind’s sustainable living beyond the planet. The Congress was filled with presentations, discussions, and a press conference with Asgardia’s Head of Nation, Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli, Prime Minister Lena De Winne, and Chairman of Parliament Lembit Öpik.
Dr. Ashurbeyli showers Dubai with compliments as the very representation of modernity and creativity. He emphasized that the very success of the event was a clear indication of the shared values of Asgardia and the UAE. Moreover, the gathering served as a blow-up to the aims of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 focused on the expansion of Dubai’s economy and the enhancement of its global position in trade and technology.

Asgardia Emirates Station: A Landmark Vision
The most significant event at the Fourth Asgardia Executive Congress was the presentation of the Asgardia Emirates Station (AES). This extraordinary project signifies the subsequent move of Asgardia in the direction of establishing a ground base that will be a replica of the space life conditions. The AES will be a ground-based experimental complex aimed at figuring out human lives and habits in environments similar to that in space.
Dr. Ashurbeyli viewed the station as a practice of mankind for the life beyond Earth. He was of the opinion that the station would be the place where the scientists would know about the long-term survival in isolation, radiation safety, and conditions of artificial gravity. The Fourth Asgardia Executive Congress disclosed that the AES will consist of living modules, research labs, a greenhouse, and a perinatal center.

Lena De Winne, the Prime Minister, referred to AES as a point of connection between science and society. She made a call to nations, universities, and investors to participate in Asgardia’s ambitious vision of linking innovation with real-world learning. The research facility is meant to be experimental for the whole duration; the station will be the one collaborating with Dubai’s aspiration to be the top global innovation hub.
The AES is projected to be the center of public outreach and education; it will cater to students, scientists, and tourists. Furthermore, it will lead research in the area of space and establish a connection between space technology and daily life of the humans. The station situated within the UAE’s innovation framework, epitomizes the strong coherence between the cosmic dream of Asgardia and the economic future of Dubai.
A Digital Nation Expanding its Horizons
During the Fourth Executive Congress of Asgardia, the new digital platform of Asgardia was also revealed. This comprehensive solution merges communication, governance and finance into a single mobile application obtainable on both Google Play and Apple App Store. The digital platform will facilitate the formation of Asgardia’s expanding worldwide community, thus making it easier for the citizens to communicate with their government and with each other.

Dr. Ashurbeyli was explaining how this creativity results in the digital space nation being closer to the reality of life governance. The Fourth Asgardia Executive Congress was proof of how this digital ecosystem supports the mission of Asgardia that seeks to connect citizens beyond physical borders with the help of technology that is inclusive.
In addition, one more thing that was brought up at the Congress and was hardly less significant was the Announcement of Sovereignty by Asgardia. Dr. Ashurbeyli commented that the country would turn to all 193 UN member states and seek their official recognition, thereby taking a daring step that underlines the intention of Asgardia to develop a proper governance in space.

In an unprecedented action, Asgardia has also laid claim to its first terrestrial territory, which is located in Antarctica, specifically Marie Byrd Land. The area, one of the very few unclaimed territories on Earth, is symbolic of Asgardia’s non-violent approach to the exploration and conservation of new frontiers, thus it represents their installation in the Earth’s corner.
Through the Fourth Asgardia Executive Congress, Dubai has once again asserted itself as one of the world’s leading cities in innovation, space research and technology. The partnership between Asgardia and the UAE indicates a scenario where humans combine science, imagination, and sustainability. The Fourth Asgardia Executive Congress has shown that Dubai is not only a future city but also a portal to humanity’s destiny amongst the stars.
