Space Law in Practice: Navigating Dual-Use Opportunities in a New Geopolitical Era

The rapid expansion of the space economy is increasingly shaped by technologies that serve both civilian and security purposes. From earth observation and satellite communications to navigation systems, many space-based capabilities are inherently dual-use, placing them at the intersection of commercial innovation and geopolitical strategy. As a result, companies operating in the space sector face a growing web of legal and regulatory challenges, particularly in the areas of export controls, sanctions, and compliance.

In Europe, and particularly in Germany and Norway, space is gaining strategic importance as governments seek to strengthen resilience, safeguard critical infrastructure, and ensure responsible use of sensitive technologies. This evolving landscape requires businesses to navigate complex national, European, and international legal frameworks while maintaining competitiveness and fostering cross-border collaboration.

This webinar will examine how dual-use considerations are reshaping the legal environment for space activities, offering practical insights into key risks, regulatory developments, and compliance strategies. It will provide a platform for discussion on how companies and stakeholders can manage legal uncertainty while unlocking opportunities in an increasingly interconnected and security-conscious space sector.
