Space4Labour welcomes today’s UK Space Strategy and its ambition to put space at the heart of Britain’s industrial renewal, national security and economic growth.
Success should mean:
• Good jobs, apprenticeships and opportunities
• Clear routes for innovative businesses to win contracts and grow
• Resilient infrastructure that protects the country
• A strong international collaboration and responsible stewardship of space.
This is an opportunity to turn Labour’s industrial ambitions into lasting capability and shared prosperity. Delivery must now match the ambition.

The Prime Minister was clear: investing in space is about preparing our armed forces for the conflicts of the future, creating 60,000 new jobs, investing in British skills, backing our world-leading industries and driving growth across the UK.

🚀Britain’s space sector is pushing boundaries: new studies funded to explore manufacturing life-saving medicines, semiconductors & ultra-low loss optical fibres in orbit. This is the future of UK innovation and good jobs. #Space4Labour #UKSpaceAgency gov.uk/government/news/new-s…
Space4Labour welcomes the Government’s recognition that space is critical to UK prosperity & security, but the response shows tension between ambition & realism — challenges acknowledged, bold reforms not fully embraced.
gov.uk/government/publicatio…
Space must deliver high‑quality jobs, regional growth & inclusive opportunities across the UK — reflecting Labour values & sharing the benefits of space innovation widely.
Space4Labour will continue engaging with government, industry, academia & communities to champion policies that support innovation, workers & communities in shaping Britain’s space future.

Delighted to be with you @Open_Cosmos and congratulations on this significant milestone.
During the World Economic Forum in Davos, Open Cosmos had the opportunity to mark the award of Liechtenstein’s Ka-band spectrum filings in the company of some of the most respected minds in space, policy, finance, and government. Being able to share this moment in such a setting - and to do so through thoughtful, substantive discussion - was a privilege.
During the day, we held focused and constructive conversations on the role of space in addressing global challenges, from resilience and sovereignty to connectivity and long-term security. Davos also provided a valuable platform for meaningful engagement and networking with senior leaders shaping the international space and policy agenda.
Open Cosmos was honoured to welcome H.S.H. the Hereditary Prince Alois of Liechtenstein, H.S.H. Prince Max of Liechtenstein, and H.S.H. Prince Nikolaus of Liechtenstein, alongside Prime Minister Brigitte Haas, Minister @hubertbuechel , and The Lord @jstockwood, UK Minister for Investment @biztradegovuk , for a private VIP session. We are grateful for their time, insight, and continued leadership in advancing Europe’s space ambitions, and their support in our ambition to deliver our new LEO capability.
We also hosted Space & Global Challenges: The 2026 Agenda, convening senior figures from government, international institutions, finance, industry, and policy. The discussion benefited greatly from the perspectives of Aarti Holla-Maini, Director @UNOOSA; @andrepietri, Chairman and Scientific Director, Joint European Disruptive Initiative (JEDI) @EuroJedi , and Hermann Ludwig Moeller, Director of the European Space Policy Institute (@ESPIspace) alongside @RafelJorda, CEO and Founder of Open Cosmos. Their contributions set the tone for a serious and forward-looking exchange.
We would also like to acknowledge the many senior participants and guests who contributed to the discussions - your engagement, insight, and openness made the dialogue both rigorous and constructive.
While the substance of the conversations will remain private in keeping with the nature of the forum, we are pleased to share a small selection of photos from the week.
