Business Bridge Europe, logos and MCI Brussels are happy to announce that the European Space Conference will be back this 23-24 January 2024 with its 16th edition.

Hosted in a new venue – the SQUARE Convention Centre in Brussels’ Mont des Arts, the European Space Conference will once again bring together the leading industrial and institutional stakeholders from the European space sector, start-ups and academia to discuss and explore Europe’s latest developments and challenges in the space domain. 

Following the successes of previous editions, the Conference has established itself as a landmark in the Brussels agenda – an unmissable date for space professionals and enthusiasts.  The upcoming 16th edition promises to follow in the footsteps and improve on the achievements of previous conferences by bringing an array of engaging sessions, insightful panel discussions, dedicated and exclusive media activities, and valuable networking opportunities. By bringing together high-level government and EU officials, space agencies representatives, industry experts, and civil society members, we aim to facilitate, support, and contribute to a comprehensive dialogue on the sector’s most pressing issues. 

Key themes that will be at the forefront of our discussions during the conference include: 

• Strengthening Europe’s economic security in and through space: the event will address the initiatives aimed to strengthen Europe’s economic resilience and technological independence by securing its assets and expanding its capabilities in space. 
• Navigating the links between Space and Defence: the conference will explore the growing interlink between the space and defence sectors, with space capabilities increasingly being recognised as critical assets to European defence and security. 
•  Advancing Europe’s strategic competitiveness in the space domain: our high-level speakers and participants will discuss the new policies set up to foster the growth and guarantee the long-term sustainability and competitiveness of the European space industry ecosystem.  

The 16th European Space Conference comes at a pivotal moment for the block’s future and represents an unparalleled opportunity to participate in shaping the continent’s new strategies in the realm of space and cultivate strong partnerships. 

Business Bridge Europe, logos, and MCI Brussels extend a warm invitation to all stakeholders committed to shaping Europe’s role and ambition in space. Join us in Brussels on the 23rd and 24th of January for an enriching and insightful experience.
