Why the Research and Innovation (R&I) Strategy Matters for the European Space Sector 🚀 The Research and Innovation (R&I) Strategy is crucial for ensuring that Europe remains globally competitive in the rapidly evolving space sector. By establishing a clear roadmap for the 2025-2027 period, the strategy focuses on critical domains such as telecommunications, commercial Earth observation, and new space transportation systems. Concentrating efforts in these areas helps Europe reduce production costs, foster new industrial processes, and accelerate time-to-market for advanced space technologies. This roadmap is designed to tackle global competition head-on by prioritising end-to-end systems and cutting-edge technologies, ensuring that European space solutions remain innovative and competitive. It also aligns with efforts to improve launch competitiveness by 2030 and supports the development of more flexible, cost-effective space transportation services. Why Participate in Consultations?  By contributing to the consultations, you directly influence the future of Europe’s space policy. Your insights are vital in shaping a strategic plan that reflects the needs of the entire space value chain, ensuring that European space systems are well-positioned for global leadership. 🗓️ Upcoming Workshops: November 14th, 9:00 – 13:00: New Space Transportation Solutions (including Ground Segment) November 15th, 10:00 – 17:00: Commercial EO/Satcom Solutions (including Ground Segment) Get Involved Now – Registration is free and available here: https://lnkd.in/erCfyepp Follow along!

The History of Space AISBL and the Partnership 🚀 As we continue to build our presence on LinkedIn, we want to take a moment to reflect on the history of Space AISBL and the exciting partnership we've formed to boost the competitiveness of the space sector. Since our founding by five associations - ASD-Eurospace, SME4SPACE, Association of European Space Research Establishments (ESRE), EASTRO, and EASN - European Aeronautics Science Network we have been dedicated to creating a unified voice for the upstream space community. Our mission took a significant step forward with the establishment of the “Digitalisation for Commercial Space Solutions” Partnership, which began its activities in June 2023. What is this Partnership about? The Partnership aims to enhance competitiveness in three key areas: 1. Commercial Earth Observation Solutions 2. Commercial Telecommunications Solutions 3. New Space Transportation Solutions Our focus spans both space and ground segments, ensuring a holistic approach to these technology areas. Do you want to learn more about what happened already, for example or the 2025 calls? Read here: https://lnkd.in/eMq5g9Ud As we work towards the 2026, and 2027 calls, we are now initiating consultations to gather insights from European Space entities.
