The European Space Forum returned to Brussels on 30 June – 1 July 2026 for its 6th edition. Once again, it convened senior policymakers, industry leaders, and experts for two days of high-level, in-person debate at a pivotal moment for Europe’s space ambitions.

Under the theme ‘Urgency and Ambition: Europe at a Crossroads’, the 2026 Forum examined how Europe could translate political intent into operational capability. As competition intensified, technologies accelerated, and space became ever more central to security, sovereignty, and economic growth, discussions spanned the full space value chain. Sessions explored the EU Space Act, funding and industrial competitiveness, sovereignty, launch, connectivity, Earth observation, and international partnerships, with commentary placing a strong focus on turning strategy into impact.

The 6th Annual European Space Forum 2026 also co-locating with the European Space, Security and Defence Forum will take place on 2 July 2026 at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Brussels. Find out more here. 

We have various speaking, sponsor, and wider visibility opportunities available at the event. Should you be interested in becoming involved at the European Space Forum please contact Sam Ling on [email protected] / +44 (0) 7718 930709. 

Held immediately following its partner event, the European Space Forum, the event will bring together senior policymakers, defence and security actors, industry leaders, and key experts to examine how Europe can better protect its space assets, strengthen resilience, and secure freedom of action in orbit.
