Togo: Lomé Hosts Africa’s First Space Forum this Month

(Togo First) - Lomé, the capital of Togo, will host the first Space Forum Africa from April 7 to 9. African Geospace and TRL Space are organizing this international event to promote space cooperation.

The forum will center discussions on climate regulation, smart agriculture, disaster prevention, and modernizing public policies through space technologies. Organizers aim to position Africa as a key player in global space governance, bringing together decision-makers, researchers, entrepreneurs, donors, and investors.

The event also seeks to build stronger partnerships between African nations and global stakeholders to establish a sovereign and sustainable space industry. Richard Folly, founder of African Geospace, views space as a powerful tool for Africa’s economic development. He believes hosting the forum in Lomé offers Togo a strategic opportunity for technological transformation.
