Libreville, Gabon – The NewSpace Africa Conference (NSAC) 2026 will take place from 20 to 23 April, bringing together Africa’s space community to discuss policy, commercial development, and innovation in the satellite and space sector. The event will host heads of national space agencies, ministers, policymakers, satellite manufacturers, connectivity providers, investors, tech hubs, academia, and stakeholders from industries such as agriculture, health, ICT, and smart cities.

Since 2022, the conference has rotated across African countries including Kenya, Côte d’Ivoire, Angola, and Egypt, establishing itself as a central platform where partnerships are formed and decisions shaping Africa’s space future are made. NSAC 2026 aims to further expand the industry’s impact and global relevance.

The previous edition in 2025 attracted over 600 industry stakeholders, more than 60 expert speakers, 40 exhibitors, 200 organisations, representatives from 65 countries, and delegates from over 50 African governments.

Participants can register for in-person attendance with early-bird rates of €500 available until 31 December 2025. Standard conference passes cost €800, while virtual passes providing full access to sessions, networking, and digital content are €300. Students are offered a 50% discount on standard registration.

Registration includes access to keynotes, panels, workshops, exhibitions, conference materials, and digital recordings. Cancellations before 31 December 2025 are eligible for full refunds, while transfers to other participants are allowed before the conference. Visa invitation letters are provided to registered attendees to support travel applications.
