Speakers

Hear from and engage with the most influential voices in Spain’s New Space sector

At New Space España 2026, you will have the opportunity to hear from, ask questions of and share experiences with leading representatives from industry, space agencies, public institutions, defence, and the scientific and technological communities.

Over the course of two days, their insights will shape crucial discussions on how to advance strategic autonomy through space. The programme will explore the initiatives, projects, technologies and partnerships strengthening the industrial capabilities, technological sovereignty and security of Spain and Europe. And the conversation will not end when the microphones are switched off. Professional meetings and networking spaces will allow you to exchange ideas directly with the decision-makers, technology developers and leaders behind some of the initiatives set to shape the space sector over the coming years.
