Context

EU space policy aims to tackle some of the most pressing challenges today, such as fighting climate change, helping to stimulate technological innovation, and providing socio-economic benefits to citizens. Space technology, e.g., data transmission by satellites, plays an important role when it comes to finding solutions.

To fulfil the scope this partnership was created with the aim to build regional coalitions to strengthen the value chain "Access to space"
