On June 16, 2025, the Luxembourg Space Industries Association (GLAE), hosted by FEDIL, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with its Benelux counterparts at the Paris Air Show. This agreement extends the collaboration initiated in September 2024 in Noordwijk, Netherlands, bringing together organizations such as Flanders Space, Wallonie Espace, Brussels Aerospace Group, and SpaceNed.

The partnership aims to enhance cooperation in space and defense sectors, fostering research, innovation, and new industrial opportunities across the Benelux region and beyond. It focuses on strategic areas including space-based security, dual-use technologies, critical infrastructure protection, and the use of space data.

The MoU strengthens the Benelux as a unified, forward-looking player in Europe's space and defense landscape, promoting regional innovation and reinforcing Europe's space capabilities.
