The conference will open with a high-level Plenary Session focused on harnessing space-powered solutions for the benefit of business and society in general.
Entitled ‘New Tools for Businesses and Society Across the Globe’, the session will provide an update on the various EU space programmes and discuss the topics of space for society and space for business.
The session will be followed by an International Business Roundtable where global business leaders will discuss how they are leveraging space applications within their operations.
