Les Assises du NewSpace
The French NewSpace Summit

The advent of NewSpace is driving new applications, transforming the space industry, and pushing legacy players to adapt their strategies in response to the numerous initiatives led by new entrants, digital players, startups, and major clients over the past decade. This strategic and high-impact sector, now more accessible than ever, presents a vast array of opportunities that French space industry players must seize in a race that has become inherently global.

In just three editions, the Assises du NewSpace – French NewSpace Summit has become the essential gathering point where the future of France’s new space economy is shaped. With innovation at its core, this event fosters discussions and debates, bringing together key stakeholders and end users from the space ecosystem through roundtables, workshops, and keynotes covering four key themes: new applications and customer insights, innovation, the new economy, and French and European space policy. A special focus is given to the new generation of entrepreneurs, who are enriching the French space ecosystem and pushing the boundaries of possibility within the Spacetech Village.

These two days of conferences are part of a large-scale initiative driven by a collective of 18 major organizations representing the French space ecosystem. This collective led the democratic process that resulted in the publication of the first French report dedicated to NewSpace.

A part of NewSpace’s future depends on the initiatives and measures that will be designed and shared during this event—and, more broadly, as part of this national project.

New report of 2025 : Updated version of the "NewSpace ambition 2027" report

In 2022, the Assises du NewSpace Collective published the first-ever report on the development of the new space economy in France!
In 2025, the Collective is launching a new major national consultation to update this report and shape the future of the French space sector.

This update will take place in three stages:
I. A collaborative approach structured around a participatory platform powered by Jamespot, featuring seven thematic online forums open to all!
This phase will feed into Phase II.
II. Six mainly in-person thematic forums will be organized in the second stage, led by six specialized facilitation teams.
III. The key issues will be debated at the Assises du NewSpace 2025 on July 8 and 9, 2025.

 

The major challenges to explore together include:
– Funding
– Strategic autonomy
– Intelligence
– Public opinion
– Clients
– Europe in globalization
– A general forum to share your views beyond these six themes
