Agenda

Beyond the Horizon: Shaping the Future of Space Law & Policy

As the growth of the UK’s space sector accelerates, driven by innovation, policy, and investment, the legal and policy landscape must evolve to support sustainable growth. Key risks must also be identified, managed, and mitigated to the extent possible to ensure commercial viability of future missions. This symposium co-hosted by DLA Piper and Fragomen will explore the critical challenges and opportunities shaping the industry, from securing global talent and navigating complex regulations to ensuring the sustainability of space activities in an increasingly congested orbits.

Join us as we chart the future of space law and policy, ensuring that innovation, security, and sustainability remain at the heart of the UK’s growing space sector!
