16th European Space Conference

The 16th annual European Space Conference will be held on 23-24 January 2024 at the Square Brussels Convention Center, in Brussels, Belgium.

2023 marks a decisive year for the European space sector, with Europe continuing to take significant steps to bolster its capabilities, foster the growth of a robust space ecosystem, and secure its position in the space domain in an ever-shifting global context.

Building on the successes of previous editions, the European Space Conference will take stock of the current space landscape in Europe and provide a backdrop for focused, dynamic, and thought-provoking discussions on the future of European space ambitions and initiatives.

EUMETSAT’s Director-General Phil Evans and Head of Strategy, Communication and International Relations Paul Counet will attend the event. They will discuss recent progress on how EUMETSAT is implementing its strategy and supporting major EU initiatives such as the Green Deal and the Digital Act.

Topics that will be addressed:
