Expanding Europe's Space Manufacturing Capacity

Demand for European space hardware is rising across both commercial and defence markets, and the question is whether the industry can build it fast enough. Scaling production takes more than added capacity. It means stronger domestic supply chains, less reliance on non-European suppliers, and industrial investment that matches the ambition. This panel brings together agency, defence and industry voices to look at where the real bottlenecks are, and how closer cooperation between government and industry can speed up what Europe builds. Strategy sets the target. Production decides whether Europe reaches it.
