Agenda

Emerging threats, such as anti-satellite weapons, cyberattacks on space infrastructure, and space debris, underscore the need for a unified approach to safeguard this shared environment. As nations race to establish sovereign capabilities and private actors dominate the commercial space domain, aligning these interests within a global security framework has never been more essential. The panel will explore the latest trends shaping space defence, including the integration of AI for autonomous satellite defence, the role of quantum encryption in securing communications, and the development of multi-national monitoring systems for space situational awareness. Key discussions will centre on harmonising sovereign ambitions with global security needs, fostering public-private partnerships, and ensuring the peaceful and sustainable use of space for generations to come.
