Over the past few years, the NewSpace Africa Conference has evolved beyond a gathering of industry leaders; it has become the continent’s most active dealmaking hub for space and satellite partnerships.
Across successive editions, governments, private companies, and regional organisations have leveraged the conference to formalise collaborations that strengthen Africa’s space ecosystem.
In conference halls, exhibition booths, private meeting rooms, and at mixers and networking events, ideas rarely end as conversations.
They evolve into alliances, bilateral and tripartite agreements, and strategic commitments that reshape the trajectory of Africa’s space ecosystem across multiple industry verticals.
Here, among innovators, policymakers, and entrepreneurs, the continent’s most consequential space partnerships are forged.
From Nairobi to Abidjan, Luanda to Cairo, the deals signed on the sidelines of the conference tell a clear story that African leading space stakeholders are not waiting for opportunities to arrive to be connected to the global market they are building them, and only stakeholders who explore the available opportunities will be part of Africa’s space future.
