The third edition<\/b> <\/b>of the Space Congress, held in Madrid on 19 and 20 May 2026 under the theme \u201cOne Country, One Space\u201d, confirmed the maturity and ambition that now define Spain\u2019s space sector. Organised by TEDAE in collaboration with the Spanish Space Agency (AEE), the event has established itself as the country\u2019s leading forum for analysing capabilities, challenges and opportunities in an environment shaped by growing global competition and the need for strategic autonomy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

According to Juan Carlos Cort\u00e9s, Director of the Spanish Space Agency, \u201cEurope must achieve strategic autonomy in space, and this can only be accomplished through investment, capability development and, ultimately, programmes. We are a space giant: we have spent twenty years operating in LEO, landed on a comet and on Titan, launched probes to Mercury, and developed some of the world\u2019s most advanced Earth observation and navigation systems.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We have the foundations in place, but decisive action is now required\u2014both at the September Summit of European Leaders, where future strategies will be discussed, and at ESA\u2019s Intermediate Ministerial Conference in December, where concrete proposals will be advanced.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Cort\u00e9s also stressed that, despite common perceptions, Europe is not fragmented. \u201cThere is a Community-level pillar focused on integrating space activities and an intergovernmental pillar focused on coordination. Both approaches are fully compatible.\u201d He further emphasised the importance of ensuring that national space initiatives are coordinated, interoperable and capable of maximising\u00a0 <\/span>the benefits generated by Europe\u2019s institutional investment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The context leading up to the Congress helps explain the sector\u2019s remarkable progress. In recent years, Spain has strengthened its position through the creation of the Spanish Space Agency and a sustained increase in investment in European programmes, particularly following ESA\u2019s latest Ministerial Council.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cSpace is a national policy,\u201d stated Diana Morant, Spain\u2019s Minister of Science and Universities. \u201cWe have made a record contribution to ESA. Space used to be an exclusive club made up of only a handful of countries. Today, a new reality has emerged, bringing new risks as a powerful community of private actors enters the field. Europe offers a different vision:\u00a0 <\/span>space in the service of the common good. That is why technological sovereignty is essential.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This commitment has translated into an unprecedented increase in Spain\u2019s contribution to the European Space Agency, which will average \u20ac455 million annually between 2026 and 2030, representing an increase of more than 50% compared with the previous cycle and more than three times the level recorded in 2017.

He also welcomed the close cooperation between ESA and Spain in translating this ambition into concrete programmes and capabilities, reinforcing Europe\u2019s space leadership for the benefit of citizens, economic growth and long-term resilience.\n\nA clear example of this cooperation is the Memorandum of Intent signed by ESA and the AEE during the Congress to strengthen collaboration in secure satellite connectivity. The agreement includes the creation of an integrated project team dedicated to IRIS\u00b2 activities in Spain, with particular focus on ESA\u2019s role within the programme\u2019s Low-LEO layer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The sector\u2019s growth is equally reflected in its economic performance. Revenue reached \u20ac1.293 billion in 2024, with forecasts pointing towards \u20ac1.5 billion in the coming years, maintaining annual growth rates close to 15%.\n\nThis dynamism reflects not only economic expansion but also the transformation of space into a critical infrastructure with direct impact on the economy, security, telecommunications and defence.

Over the course of two days, the Congress brought together institutional representatives, industry leaders, research centres and European organisations to discuss the present and future of the space sector.

\u201cA great deal is happening in Spain\u2019s space sector, and while that is good for Spain, it is also fundamental for Europe. Space is no longer the final frontier\u2014it has become the first line of defence. Greater dialogue with the defence community is therefore essential; we can no longer view space solely through a scientific lens.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
