Securing Europe's Future in Space: Norwegian-German-UK Cooperation
As Europe faces a turning point in security policy, achieving strategic autonomy in space has never been more urgent. Resilient satellite infrastructure underpins everything from military readiness to civilian preparedness - and no single nation can secure it alone.
This event brings together Norway, Germany, and partners including stakeholders from the UK to explore how closer collaboration among allies can strengthen European space resilience:
Programme
Norway's strategic location and launch capabilities, combined with Germany's industrial and technological strength, illustrate the kind of complementary competencies Europe needs to draw on. The UK's expertise further reinforces this growing network of cooperation.
Rather than starting from scratch, the path to strategic autonomy lies in connecting and building on existing space capabilities already developed in Europe.
Join policymakers, industry leaders, and experts aboard MS Brisen as we discuss how joint solutions - grounded in existing European strengths - can deliver security and resilience the continent needs in a new space domain. See you there!
