COUNTERSPACE
Accelerting Cooperation for Space Security
February 2027 | Brussels, Belgium
Counterspace convenes the world’s space defence and security community to turn shared threats into coordinated action. Designed for NATO, EU, and partner nations, it connects decision-makers across defence, government, and industry to map current and future capability needs, advance R&D, and operationalise new technologies. The result: stronger cooperation, faster procurement, and more resilient space architectures.
The Most Influential Event for the Dual-Use Space community
Across plenary briefings, classified and restricted-access sessions, technical theatres, and an innovation hall, Counterspace maps current and near-term requirements essential for building counterspace capabilities, including SDA, resilient SATCOM, PNT assurance, missile warning/tracking, cyber protection of space systems, responsive launch and ISR.
Why this event?
Counterspace launches at a moment of rapid change. Space is contested, congested, and commercially driven. Capabilities that once took a decade now appear in a year. As the commercial space sector expands at unprecedented speed, it brings not only opportunity but also new vectors of vulnerability, competition, and threat. In this environment, allied space power succeeds only if it is conceived internationally from the outset, which is why a global platform is essential. It demands a fundamental shift: from individual programmes to coalition-designed capability.
Why Now?
Over the past five years, NATO has moved from recognising space as a strategic domain to actively shape how it is secured, governed, and integrated across operations. This sequence of developments has created both momentum and urgency. NATO and its partners now face the challenge of turning policies and frameworks into interoperable architectures, real partnerships, and deliverable capabilities. Counterspace is the timely platform where that strategy moves from concept to collaboration. It will enable dialogues on the integration of commercial capabilities into defence planning, multinational cooperation models to shape a secure, interoperable, and sustainable space domain.
