How should space be positioned within Europe’s pursuit of sovereignty, alongside other key technology fields?

With non-European giants from the defence and digital economy sectors increasingly betting on space as a future economic driver, can Europe secure its place in this race?
How can space-enabled technologies, and their role in the economy, be harnessed to address Europe’s pressing societal challenges?

Host Country Track: Representatives from the Spanish government, industry, and civil society
Strategy Track: Stakeholders from Europe’s space, technology, and defence industries
