Building on the theme, the Meeting will address three priority topics: • Space for Resilience and Climate Action • Space Governance: Security, Sustainability and Regulation • Space Entrepreneurship and Innovation Ecosystems The Meeting will provide a valuable opportunity to exchange national experiences, highlight practical applications of space-based services and discuss governance approaches that balance innovation, security and sustainability.
