Save the Date: Space for Health Symposium on December 4, 2026

Posted on 4 September 2026

Europe is entering a new phase of human spaceflight, commercial low Earth orbit activity, sovereign capability development, and dual-use innovation. At the same time, healthcare systems face increasing pressure from ageing populations, supply-chain vulnerability, workforce shortages, and rising costs.

Despite strong capabilities, many organisations remain insufficiently connected to programmes, funding pathways, commercial opportunities, and cross-sector partners. This symposium aims to transform fragmented excellence into coordinated EU leadership.

Space for Health is a symposium designed to bring together leaders from academia, government, industry, startups, investors, healthcare, defence, and the space sector to accelerate collaboration and unlock practical health innovation enabled by space.
