Magda Cocco, Head of Practice Partner Information, Communication & Technology, has written the article 'Space Governance: Current Challenges and Future Pathways', published in Líder magazine.
In this piece, the author analyses the evolution of the space sector and the challenges arising from the growing presence of private companies in the industry, emphasising the need to adapt governance models to a new global ecosystem.
The democratisation of access to space and the increasing number of satellites in orbit raise critical issues such as orbital congestion, space debris management, and the sustainable exploitation of resources. Magda Cocco highlights the importance of adaptable international regulation, capable of keeping pace with technological innovation and ensuring the responsible use of space.
At both European and national levels, the author points to developments in the Portugal Space Strategy 2030 and the proposed European Union Space Regulation, which aim to promote competitiveness, sustainability, and security in the sector.
The article concludes with a clear message: space governance has become a strategic and legal imperative that calls for a collaborative and forward-looking approach, capable of transforming challenges into future opportunities.
