WHY THIS MATTERS NOW

Space has become too important to govern alone

Every GPS signal, early warning satellite, and secure communications link that supports modern defence depends on space. What was once a specialist domain is now invisible infrastructure, and its stability relies on diplomacy as much as technology.

Europe stands at an inflection point. The ambition is there, along with the research, industrial capability, and capital. What has been missing is the right forum: a trusted place where Government Ministers, Heads of Agencies, Ambassadors, and Senior Government Officials can meet informally, speak candidly, and turn intent into action.

Space-Comm is that forum. Not just another conference, but the place where the conversations that shape policy begin.

"I have to say this is a really remarkable event. It really is the place to be. For me as head of the European Space Agency, it's extremely important. One of the highlights of the year."

Dr Josef AschbacherDirector General, European Space Agency

"Space-Comm Expo provides exclusive hands-on experience for diplomats and decision-makers. I was privileged to support the last edition of this extremely successful series."

Prof. Dr. Kai-Uwe SchroglSpecial Advisor for Political Affairs, European Space Agency

The Ambassador Programme
🔒 Chatham House Rules · By Invitation Only

Where diplomacy and space strategy meet

The Ambassador Programme is a closed-door, by-invitation roundtable bringing together Ambassadors, High Commissioners, Attachés, and Heads of Space Agencies with senior government and industry leaders to address the defining questions in international space governance.

Each year, the programme convenes around a single central question — exploring how policy frameworks, bilateral and multilateral agreements, and collaborative action can shape a more coherent global approach to space as critical infrastructure.

Participants are invited to identify practical commitments and shared next steps. The format is candid, off-the-record, and deliberately designed to move beyond statements of intent toward action.

It was a privilege to take part in Space-Comm Expo's Ambassador Programme roundtable, organised by PA Consulting. This was a high-level forum reflecting the growing importance of space as a frontier for international cooperation, diplomacy, and security. Forums like this demonstrate that space is not merely a technical field, but a stage for geopolitical alignment and responsible leadership.

The Ambassador Programme provided an excellent opportunity to discuss space technologies from the big-picture perspective and focus on their broader impact on our economy and society.
