Bahrain has joined a global initiative led by the World Economic Forum to help countries develop national space strategies that are sustainable, future-oriented, and aligned with international developments.

The Bahrain Space Agency (BSA) confirmed its participation in the WEF’s ‘Space for National Strategy’ initiative, which brings together policymakers, experts, and industry leaders to guide countries in building efficient space policy frameworks. The move reflects Bahrain’s growing focus on strengthening its space capabilities through responsible governance and strategic partnerships.

The initiative aims to provide governments with a structured policy design toolkit to shape national space efforts. The toolkit covers practical approaches to building or refining a country’s space policy, including areas such as regulation, governance, sustainability, and commercial engagement.

By joining this platform, Bahrain seeks to deepen its national policy alignment with global standards, support its ambitions in satellite technology and data applications, and contribute to international discussions on space sector governance.

The BSA’s involvement also highlights the Kingdom’s intent to reinforce its position within the global space ecosystem. It aligns with Bahrain’s broader objectives to diversify its economy and build strategic capabilities in science, technology, and innovation.

Through this partnership, the BSA will engage with a network of institutions that includes leading national space agencies and companies working at the forefront of the sector. The collaboration is expected to offer insights into best practices and help Bahrain tailor its strategy to support national development goals.

The agency reiterated its commitment to advancing space activities in line with Bahrain’s vision and emphasised the importance of global cooperation in shaping responsible and impactful space policies.
