The first General Meeting of members of ESA’s European Centre for Space Economy and Commerce (ECSECO) took place at the 9 November 2022 in the Augustinian wing of the Austrian National Library. This full-day event was a great success and gathered nearly 100 participants from 14 different countries, who engaged in fruitful discussions and exchanges. It was a unique opportunity to connect with other members of ECSECO, gain insights into space economy and commerce, and join in building the momentum of the new Centre.
