what people say
“We’ve participated in the Newspace Conference since its inception, and we will continue to support it because we believe it is vital to remain in an environment where African leaders, researchers, and space leaders can unite to strategise on how to develop space capabilities and infrastructure and to improve as a continent. The Newspace Conference enables us all to come together.”
"This is the 3rd year that we have been here. We’ve been amazed by how much the conference has grown, how much interest has grown in Africa and how many international partners have come down here to see what is happening. We have NASA and ESA here. It has been a great conference so far. Congratulations on such a great show."
"The US is excited to be participating in this conference. It is our biggest US delegation yet to this conference. This is a testament to how much potential for growth we see here and how important it is for us to strengthen our space relationship with Africa across all sectors."
"One core benefit of coming to the Newspace Africa conference is the fact that you can make not only connections, networks and so on but you can also find partners because the journey to space will not be alone, it will be together."
"INACOMs objective at the conference in 2024 was to increase interactivity with the space market that is emerging in Africa, and of course, I think we achieved part of our objectives - how INACOM can intervene in the space market in terms of regulation."
