Space and Space Economy Law
Home »
The space economy is experiencing strong growth worldwide, and Italy is also placing a strong emphasis on the development of this market, having recently introduced a specific legislation. Indeed, law number 89 dated 13 June 2025, entitled “Provisions on the Space Economy,” came into force on 25 June 2025. This law (i) regulates access to outer space by operators, as a strategic crossroads of geopolitical, economic, scientific, and military interests, and (ii) also promotes investments in the new space economy in order to increase national competitiveness and foster scientific research, the development of skills in the space sector, and the exploitation of new technologies related to Earth observation in the context of forecasting and preventing risks associated with natural and anthropogenic phenomena.
