    Title

    The relations between Trade Law, Finance and Space Law

    type

    oral

    Description

    The transition in space activities from a largely government driven domain towards a more liberalised market for space-based commercial operations and services, subject to national control, continues to develop in line with the call for an expanding variety of services to be delivered by this sector. Whereas space-based operations such as satellite broadcasting and telecommunications were among the first in the hands of the commercial sector, demands for new types of robotic and AI-related space services are rising from this NewSpace sector that is developing the technology. The shift away from state-dominated to commercial-based operations increases the commercial sector’s exposure more directly to the rules of international trade law, as well as to rules of international corporate finance. Whether the procurement of government-based services form the commercial sector, or access by non-national companies to foreign space markets, the space sector is exposed to a greater interaction with tariff and trade agreements, to the control of import and dual use goods, and international trade and economic law. This session invites papers dealing with corporate funding of the NewSpace sector, as well as the rules relating to free trade insofar as they affect access to foreign space markets. It also welcomes reviews on the interface between government and privately funded space activities, including procurement of commercial services.
