From Strategy to Sovereignty- Financing Europe’s Space Defence

On this episode of the Generation Space Podcast, host Leah Martin is joined by Rob Desborough, Partner at Seraphim, and Ed Phillips from the UK’s National Security, Strategic Investment Fund or NSIFF to explore why space technology is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of Europe’s defence strategy. With the UK ramping up defence spending and the EU launching its €800 billion “ReArm Europe” initiative, they discuss how commercial space capabilities, like secure communications, ISR, and satellite resilience, are shaping sovereign security. Tune in for an insightful dive into dual-use ethics, funding landscapes, and what success might look like for Europe’s space defence over the next five years.
