Hosted at Kozminski University in Warsaw, this 3-day intensive program dives deep into how space innovation is evolving at the intersection of business, defence, and regulation.
Hereโ€™s what makes this agenda truly stand out:

Kick off with powerful insights into Europeโ€™s space market and the realities of dual-use technologiesโ€”from institutional requirements to investor perspectives. The hands-on Case Lab โ€œDual-use decision treeโ€ challenges participants to navigate real-world trade-offs like IP, cyber security, and market readiness.

Explore how cyber resilience, regulation, and compliance shape the future of space ventures. The interactive โ€œCompliance-to-customer mapโ€ workshop translates complex legal and security frameworks into practical business impactโ€”cost, time-to-market, and access to defence customers.

Unpack the growing convergence of Europeโ€™s space and defence industries, and learn how companies transition from civil markets into critical defence ecosystems. The final CASE LAB focuses on entering the space-defence market with actionable strategies.
โœจ Throughout the program:
โ€ข Keynotes from leading experts across ESA, industry, and policy including the Polish Ministry of Defence (MON), Iceye and others
โ€ข Practical workshops turning theory into execution
โ€ข Real-world case labs tackling todayโ€™s toughest challenges
โ€ข A unique international network of space economy professionals
By the end, participants wonโ€™t just understand the space economyโ€”theyโ€™ll be equipped to navigate it.
