Global Space Economic Forum

ESA’s first Global Space Economic Forum was held at ESA's ESTEC technology centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands on 10 October 2018.

The panel discussion 'Fuelling possibilities: cross-cultural initiatives to develop enabling technologies' with representatives from Airbus, CNES, Harwell Campus and Catapult focused on opportunities for bringing together space and non-space industry and research, to spark innovation. Many examples were given with the key message that joining forces and listening to each other can greatly benefit citizens.
