SECURING NORWAYS ACCESS TO SPACE
Space isn’t just for superpowers anymore. This session looks at how Norway can secure sovereign and sustainable access to space -and why that matters more than ever.
From a base in Stavanger, Space Lab is developing reusable launch vehicles with the goal of enabling the first launch around 2030. We explore what it takes to build a space company from scratch, the growing importance of European independence in orbit, and how innovation in rocket tech could unlock a new era for Norway.
Expect perspectives on technology, geopolitics, and ambition - delivered from someone who’s building rockets by day, and surfing Jæren by sunset.
