WIA-Europe Paris x De Gaulle Fleurance – Launch Services & Spaceports Event

We are delighted to share that Women in Aerospace Europe (WIA-Europe) and De Gaulle Fleurance (DGFLA) will co-organise an event on 9th December dedicated to the future of launch services and spaceports! 🚀

As Europe accelerates its ambitions in access to space, we will bring together experts from industry, insurance, law, and operations to explore the rapidly evolving ecosystem of launch infrastructure and orbital access.

Spaceports are operational platforms where national ambitions, commercial innovation and geopolitics converge, serving as crucial infrastructure for access to space. The Guiana Space Centre, based in Kourou, is Europe’s essential launch hub and a strategic asset in an increasingly competitive market.

Yet, it was once a state-dominated market that has expanded into a rapidly evolving ecosystem of brokers, launch service providers, satellite operators, and other stakeholders. This multiplication of actors and satellites heightens the importance of understanding how risk in space operations is measured, insured, allocated, and mitigated. During this event, panellists will discuss how the infrastructures that serve as spaceports work and how the policies governing activities in orbit must adapt in tandem to secure Europe’s long-term competitiveness and resilience in the global space sector.

The event will be held in a hybrid format, both online and in-person, as well as both in English and French.

Don’t miss the cocktail reception sponsored by Spatio!
