European Space Conference
The 18th European Space Conference is scheduled to take place on 27–28 January at the Square Convention Centre in Brussels, Belgium. In 2026, a number of policy and strategic developments are expected to influence the future of Europe’s space ecosystem. These include the outcomes of the ESA Ministerial Council meeting, negotiations on the next EU Multiannual Financial Framework and its Competitiveness Fund, and the preparation of the future EU Space Programme and its components.
The European Space Conference will serve as a platform for discussion on these topics, as well as for high-level exchanges on upcoming space and defence initiatives, national space strategies, and Europe’s position in international partnerships.
The event is intended to support informed discussion on the future direction and competitiveness of the European space sector.
