Two years ago, the Israeli Rakia Mission successfully introduced a groundbreaking approach of open access to human spaceflight missions, as part of the AX-1 mission to the ISS. The mission served as an innovative platform to conduct dozens of experiments for hundreds of entrepreneurs, scientists, companies, and organizations, making a significant impact.
Last week, the Israeli Space Week took place in a slightly different format, due to the difficult times our country is currently going through. This year's Space Week focused on the challenges and opportunities that the space industry is facing in the current reality, and its potential contribution to the Israeli economy. During the event, we made a significant announcement – revealing that the Rakia Mission and the Israel Space Agency are establishing the first Israeli Space Forum.
There is no doubt that the space industry can serve as a vehicle for economic and social growth today, perhaps more than ever before. To promote the space industry in Israel and move it forward, the establishment of this forum expresses the necessity of a partnership between various entities in the country. Through the forum, companies, startups, and entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to interact with investors, government bodies, academia, and local and global space representatives.
