Space capability that strengthens awareness, connectivity and resilience
The Space domain at the Africa International Defence Exhibition focuses on space-enabled resilience, where data, connectivity and responsible operations support better decisions on the ground, at sea, in the air and across cyber environments.
The Space domain focuses on themes such as Earth observation and geospatial insight, resilient satellite communications, PNT dependence and continuity, secure ground infrastructure and data services, and sustainable, responsible space operations.
The Africa International Defence Exhibition is designed as a defence and security platform that connects Space capability stakeholders with industry across:
- Primes
- Tier 1 suppliers
- Tier 2 suppliers
- Tier 3 suppliers
- SMEs
- Dual-use innovators
Through a structured exhibition, conference and protocol-led engagement, the primary goal is to support measurable cooperation pathways with transparent, structured engagement.

For Africa, stronger Cyber capability supports human security outcomes that include:
Improving early warning and preparedness through trusted Earth observation and geospatial insight.
Strengthening continuity and coordination through resilient communications and information sharing.
Supporting crisis response through safer, more interoperable access to space-enabled services.
The African Union has established the African Space Agency (AfSA) through an AU statute, supporting coordination and implementation of Africa’s space ambitions within the AU policy and strategy framework.
