Space Defense & Security Summit

Welcome to the Premier Space Defense & Security Summit

The first edition of SDSS exceeded all expectations, marking an extraordinary success with over 450 registered delegates from more than 35 countries. With 66 experts on stage and 34 partners and sponsors, SDSS fostered critical discussions on space defense, security, and international cooperation. This strong participation solidifies SDSS as a premier platform for global leaders shaping the future of space and defense.

Building on these positive results we are delighted to announce that SDSS will return for a second edition to take place on September 16-17, 2025, at the sophisticated Les Salons Hoche.

SDSS will be held just a short five-minute walk from the World Space Business Week’s venue – the Hôtel du Collectionneur. The proximity of the two venues will allow seamless integrations between participants of both events, fostering unparalleled synergies across the space community.

New Space Security & Defense Perspective

This event will feature outstanding speakers and leading organizations representing the space and security community, covering major themes within the rapidly evolving landscape of this industry.

As space transforms into an operational domain for sovereignty, defense, and security, the contours of these realms are rapidly shifting. The increasing contestation in space necessitates diverse missions and resources, prompting the imperative need for new cooperation models and investments across technological and human domains.

Moreover, the evolution of commercial systems sparks a fundamental reconsideration of how defense space activities are organized. At SDSS, we will delve into these pressing matters, exploring strategies to navigate this dynamic environment.

Exceptional Business Perspectives​ & Synergies with the WSBW

The Space Defense & Security Summit aligns seamlessly with the World Space Business Week, creating a dynamic synergy that amplifies opportunities for all participants, speakers, and sponsors alike.​

​For defense stakeholders attending SDSS, this alignment with WSBW in Paris presents a strategic advantage, offering increased opportunities for delegates to engage with the thriving ecosystem already in place at WSBW.​

​The strategic proximity of both events provides an ideal setting for connecting with potential investors, innovators, clients, and partners, thus fostering interactions and driving deal-making opportunities.​
