Welcome to the Space Defense & Security Summit ​

Building on the success of its second edition, we are delighted to announce that SDSS will return for a third edition to take place on September 15-16, 2025, at the sophisticated Les Salons Hoche.
 
The second edition of SDSS exceeded all expectations, marking an extraordinary success with over 480 attendees from 33 countries. ​With 92 expert speakers and 54 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.​

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.
