INTRODUCTION
Strong sustainable economies are the bedrock of successful societies. Space technology already enhances all sectors of our economy and is giving European industry a competitive edge on the world stage. We will demonstrate how businesses of all sizes in every non-space sector are benefiting from space applications, increasing revenues and facilitating company growth.
This event will be the most important event for the European Space Agency (ESA)'s Business Applications and Space Solutions programme (BASS) in 2024. We aim to demystify space by demonstrating the value of the application of space technologies across every aspect of daily life and its impact in many economic sectors in Europe and around the world.
THE EVENT
At this event ESA will showcase the work of BASS as a key driver for sustainable innovation across European industry, with endorsements by senior leaders from high profile companies. We will also:
- demonstrate how user-driven innovation is critical to achieving a greater integration of space into the wider economy, in the context of the digital economy
- showcase the impact of space applications on non-space economies
- foster a dialogue between stakeholders, developing links between industrial eco-systems
- outline the opportunities offered by BASS financial, technical and business support
