Galaxy Corporation established a Middle East unit, Galaxy ME, in Dubai in April 2026 and is in talks with local partners about a robot theme park there, Seoul Economic Daily reported on June 24, 2026. A company official was quoted directly: "The Dubai robot theme park is under review, but specifics have not been decided."
That caveat is worth keeping. There is no announced site, budget, partner or opening date, and Galaxy's own Seoul venue has not held its grand opening yet — that is scheduled for September 2026, following a pre-open that began on July 3.
Why the Gulf, specifically
Robot entertainment has an unusual venue economics profile. The capital cost sits in the building and the hardware rather than in performers, the show can run several times a day without a rest schedule, and the content is language-light — choreography, boxing and portrait drawing travel without subtitles. Those properties suit markets that are building attractions faster than they are building local performing-arts pipelines.
Galaxy's robots are Unitree G1 units; the company operates and choreographs them rather than manufacturing them, and has said it remains open to working with other robot makers. That keeps a second venue closer to a procurement exercise than a factory build.
The company's other 2026 outbound activity has followed the same pattern of exploratory visits rather than signed venues: India in April, Vietnam in April, and a visit to headquarters by Bhutan's prime minister at the end of that month.

Why it matters
Entertainment robotics is the only corner of physical AI where a customer pays at the door with no return-on-investment calculation, and it is also the only one where a second site is a straightforward copy of the first. If the format exports, the unit economics get interesting quickly; if it does not, the Seoul park is a one-off.
The Gulf is the obvious test. It buys attractions at speed, it has the capital, and a language-light show avoids the localisation costs that sink most exported entertainment formats. Whether any of that converts into a signed venue is unproven, and Galaxy has been careful not to claim otherwise.
