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.
