The establishment and ongoing development of standards and best practices play a pivotal role in supporting the risk management process, serving to mitigate the materialization of risks. These standards and practices necessitate a strong alignment with strategic management and space law frameworks. The primary aim of the forthcoming conference is to elucidate and deliberate upon such standards and best practices from strategic, managerial, and legal perspectives. This thematic focus has been selected with the intent of fostering awareness among entrepreneurs, particularly those engaged in the burgeoning NewSpace sector, as well as public administration and other stakeholders within the space industry, including investors and financing institutions.

Organizers and addresses The conference is being organized in collaboration with esteemed entities such as the Polish Space Agency, the Agency for Entrepreneurial Development, the European Centre for Space Economy and Commerce, the European Space Agency, and representatives of National Delegates from the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region.
