Ministerial Panel 1

Ministries of science, technology, education, digital communication, and innovation play a critical role in driving space-related applications and technologies across Africa. These institutions are responsible for drafting legislation, formulating national space strategies, and overseeing the development, regulation, and management of space activities within their countries.

This high-level ministerial panel will serve as a platform for policymakers to share best practices, discuss challenges, and collaboratively shape the strategic direction of the African space ecosystem. Ministers will deliberate on policy frameworks, regulatory approaches, and priority areas for growth to ensure a sustainable, innovative, and globally competitive African space industry.
