The NATO Space COE conference 2026

The NATO Space Conference will return to Toulouse in spring 2026! The event will, once again, bring together some of the brightest minds in defence, space, and industry, providing a unique opportunity to exchange insights and enhance cooperation across the Alliance.

From Awareness to Action:
Embedding Space in NATO Operations

This year’s theme, “From Awareness to Action: Embedding Space in NATO Operations” emphasises the increasing significance of space for defence, resilience, and multinational coordination. Throughout the conference, distinguished speakers will explore the theme across three key areas:

  • Escalation Management and Effective Deterrence in Space
  • Operationalising Space in a Multi-Domain Context: Maximising Effects Through Integration
  • Integrating Capabilities in Space: Dual-Use Solutions and Challenges

High-level participants from across NATO will engage in thought-provoking keynote addresses and informative panel discussions that will highlight emerging developments, key challenges, and operational opportunities shaping NATO’s future in the space domain. Additionally, an exhibition area will feature our international sponsors, showcasing advanced technologies from some of the most influential actors in the space sector.

This conference will provide a great opportunity to connect, learn from one another, and see how NATO and its partners are turning space awareness into real operational impact.

We look forward to welcoming you and continuing these important conversations together.
