Europe’s future in space and the opportunities it will offer were discussed at a European Parliament conference in Brussels on 26 October. Organised with ESA and under the patronage of the President of the European Parliament, Mr Jerzy Buzek, this was a new opportunity for the political decision-makers, company executives and representatives of civil society to discover and debate the political and financial stakes, as well as the exciting industrial and service opportunities offered by the competence on the space policy of the EU. Top-level representatives of Europe, its institutions and industrialists, also participated in the debates.
