Space-Comm Expo Europe returned to ExCeL London earlier this year for its biggest edition yet, cementing its position as one of Europe’s largest exhibition and conference for the space sector.

Over 6,000 attendees came through the doors across the two days, including more than 600 government officials and 500 defence representatives, with delegations from 50 space nations and over 30% of the audience travelling from outside the UK.

More than 200 companies exhibited, spanning launch providers, satellite manufacturers, ground infrastructure specialists and the primes – BAE Systems, Thales, Leonardo, Airbus Defence and Boeing among them – who sit at the centre of Europe’s space and defence supply chain.

Government and institutional attendance included the MOD, UK Space Agency, ESA, NASA, NATO and the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs, alongside investors and financial institutions backing the sector’s next wave of growth.

Following a record year, Space-Comm Expo Europe will returns to the ExCeL London on 24-25 February 2027 focusing on the theme “Securing Europe’s Space Advantage.”

With commercial space companies facing growing pressure to secure government and defence contracts, the show’s focus for 2027 sharpens further: we are all about creating “access” between industry and the people making the decisions.
