#SpaceWatchGL Opinion – What can the Global Space Industry Expect from Africa’s new Space Agency

The African Space Agency (AfSA) became more than just an idea when the African Union (AU) adopted the agency’s establishing statute in 2018 as an organ of the AU. In January 2023, the African Union Commission (AUC) and the Egyptian Government - as host nation of the Agency, agreed upon the general framework regulating their relationship, consequently declaring the Agency open and operational. In April this year, AUC and the Egyptian Government will officially inaugurate the African Space Agency (AfSA) during the 2025 NewSpace Africa Conference, which will take place at Egypt Space City in Cairo, Egypt.
