Sweden faces a turning point in its space policy. To stay competitive and strategically relevant, the country must raise the sector’s political priority and strengthen both its European and national roles.
This Politea report examines Sweden’s shift toward viewing space through a security lens and what it means for transatlantic relations, EU integration, and Arctic engagement. It also outlines key challenges and policy recommendations ahead.
Authored by James Francis of the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI), the report is part of Politea’s independent research initiative, produced without external funding or client commission.
