International Cooperation for Technology Scaling

Using international cooperation to strengthen sovereign capability, grow commercial opportunities, and generate economic benefits despite having more limited domestic markets and resources than major space powers.

Using the UK as a case study, the panel will examine practical and transferable approaches to accelerating technology development, increasing exports, and building trusted international partnerships while retaining domestic capability and value. Discussion will cover a range of cooperation models, including licensing partnerships, agency-to-agency engagement to address export control and assurance challenges, and collaborations beyond traditional ESA frameworks with non-ESA nations. The session will also highlight the role standards-based cooperation through organisations such as ISO, ECSS and CCSDS in reducing barriers to trade, improving interoperability, and enabling companies to access multiple global markets
