EU Space: Trends for the Future

The global space sector is undergoing an important transformation increasing the opportunities and the solutions available. This is crucial considering that space technologies, data and services have become indispensable in the daily lives of everyone: when using mobile phones and car navigation systems, watching satellite TV or withdrawing cash.

Space is a perfect example of investment that serves as enabler for many of the world challenges today and for the future – including monitoring the sustainable management of natural resources, climate change or migration flows for Copernicus, enabling smart transport systems and precision agriculture for Galileo. Space is also a key enabler of security and protection of people. Above all, Space enables international cooperation, courage, boldness and entrepreneurship.
