Occitanie to Host Global Space Summit 2026 for Resilient Future

Occitanie is set to host a significant global event, the Space Summit for a Resilient Future 2026, from May 12-13 in Toulouse, France. This summit, a collaboration between Novaspace and the Occitanie Region, aims to bring together over 500 leaders to discuss the role of space in ensuring a sustainable and resilient future.

The summit will delve into space's crucial role in risk anticipation, natural disaster preparedness, crisis management, and security sovereignty. It will highlight the importance of international cooperation, with institutions such as the African Space Agency and the Agence Gabonaise d'Etudes et d'Observations Spatiales (AGEOS) joining forces to reflect global priorities.

Occitanie, with 40% of France's space workforce and one-third of Europe's space jobs, is an ideal host. Major players like CNES, Airbus, and Thales Alenia Space call the region home. The summit will provide a platform for these key players to engage with policymakers, industry executives, and end users from the global space value chain.

The summit is supported by Pacôme Révillon, CEO of Novaspace, and Carole Delga, President of the Occitanie Region. The region's adoption of a Space Roadmap in late 2023 further underscores its commitment to accelerating innovation and supporting the New Space industry.

The Space Summit for a Resilient Future 2026 promises to be a significant event, bringing together global stakeholders to discuss the role of space in ensuring a sustainable and resilient future. With its strong space industry and commitment to innovation, Occitanie is the perfect host for this crucial dialogue.
