"Session 3: Delivering Economic Security – The path to a self-reliant European space supply chain"- "The EU finds itself at a crucial junction concerning its leadership in the space domain. Over the past years, and against a background of intensifying geopolitical tensions, the European Union dependency on space-based technologies, components and advanced materials has been-increasing, feeding a profound reflection on our global economy, national security, and everyday lives. This session will look at the actions that need to be taken to ensure the long-term sustainability and resilience of the European space industry. It will explore the importance of fostering a culture of innovation, resilience and collaboration among European space stakeholders, ensuring a steady flow of investment into cutting-edge technologies, and streamlining regulatory processes to accelerate the development and deployment of new space capabilities. As we navigate the complexities of an emerging space race, the European space industry stands at a crossroads. How can we ensure that we take the right path and ensure a secure, sustainable and resiliant European Space Supply Chain that continues to support our economic prosperity, delivering societal well-being and global leadership?"

Policy Symposium | Space Resources Agência Espacial Portuguesa, Portugal space- "Developing an international legal framework to accommodate space resource use has become increasingly pressing as technological innovation accelerates. With this subject in mind, a set of speakers came together on the third day of the Policy Symposium (March 11 to 15), one of the preparatory events of the Management and Sustainability of Outer Space Activities Conference. Artemis Papathanassiou, from the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, moderated a session with Tanja Masson-Zwaan (Leiden University, Netherlands), Gerald (Jerry) Sanders (NASA, EUA), João Azevedo, (SPARC, Portugal) and Tomas Hrozensky (ESPI). The speakers agreed that in the mid-to short term, countries should start with a small set of principles or adaptative governance that reduces uncertainty and leverages points of convergence. During this process, it is essential to involve actors from other sectors. Furthermore, aspects such as considering space as a Global Commons and benefit-sharing mechanisms are highly relevant and will require deep reflection amongst all parties. "

The global space economy is projected to triple to $1.8 trillion by 2035, up from $630 billion in 2023. This rapid growth is being driven by the need for greater connectivity via satellites, higher demand for positioning and navigation services on mobile phones, and increased demand for insights powered by AI and machine learning. The space economy has the potential to create value for multiple industries and solve some of the world's most pressing challenges, such as climate change. In our report, in collaboration with the World Economic Forum, my colleagues Alizée Acket-Goemaere, Jesse Klempner, Andrew Sierra, Brooke Stokes and I share insights from our conversations with over 60 thought leaders from the public, private, and non-profit sector on how space's impact will expand beyond space itself, becoming more about connecting people and goods: https://lnkd.in/eG6rsATg
