As humanity expands deeper into space, so must our vigilance to protect it.

Organised by SIA-India, the third and concluding day was a decisive call to action to secure our space assets against evolving cyber threats, explore the transformational potential of bio-manufacturing in microgravity, and strengthen regulatory frameworks in SATCOM to invite greater investment and innovation.

From advanced discussions on outer space economy, it was evident that India is not just navigating space. It is carefully shaping how that journey will be governed, how it will be kept secure, and how it will create opportunities for people and businesses.

Opening the day's proceedings, Dr. Subba Rao Pavuluri, President of SIA-India, reflected on the momentum built over the past three days and commented, "Collaboration is one of the fundamental pillars for building global enterprises for a Viksit Bharat by 2047. Information exchange and critical thinking have translated our shared vision into tangible progress, reaffirming our commitment to India's transformative growth."

Day 3 of the India Space Congress 2025 commenced with powerful interventions from key national leaders to visionaries from across the world that redefined the intersection of innovation, national strategy, and global competitiveness in the space domain.

Ms. Arti Bhatnagar, Special Secretary & Financial Advisor, DPIIT, emphasised the government's proactive approach to nurturing innovation: "We've committed 945 crore through the Startup Seed Fund to support incubators across IITs, IISc, and beyond—empowering entrepreneurs even in aspirational districts. I invite innovators to bring their ideas forward; the government is here to support you.
