SES

In an increasingly complex environment, space capabilities became a key pillar ensuring success of defense initiatives, coordination of major collective efforts and critical missions.

Last week, during the Transatlantic Defense Forum in Luxembourg, we welcomed the U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matt Whitaker, U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg Stacey Feinberg, Luxembourg’s Ambassador to NATO Stefan Muller and delegation to our Betzdorf campus.

It was a pleasure to exchange on the role of multi-orbit networks and space innovation in supporting defense initiatives, and share the latest updates on capabilities such as GovSat and SES’s upcoming . Continuous dialogue with governments and institutions is crucial for understanding key requirements and bringing satcom innovations to the market in a timely manner.

Thank you for visiting, and for exchanges on transatlantic opportunity.

Last week, SESer Christophe Ferreni took on Alpe d'HuZes - cycling up Alpe d'Huez twice in a single day, through heavy rain and near-freezing temperatures, to support cancer research for the KWF Kankerbestrijding / Dutch Cancer Society.

This year's event raised €25 million for cancer research, adding to the €245 million raised since 2006.

Moments like this remind us what our community stands for and what it means to thrive as one. Way to go, Christophe! 👏

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Hadja Lahbib, European Commission Commissioner for Equality, Preparedness & Crisis Management, to our offices in Betzdorf, Luxembourg.
