The Space Forum was established by OECD to assist governments, space-related administrations and the private sector to better identify the statistical contours of the space sector, while investigating the space infrastructure’s economic significance, innovation role and potential impacts for the larger economy (e.g. publication: “The Space Economy at a Glance”). In 2015, the Space Forum’s Steering Group includes ten members, nine national space agencies / official bodies in charge of space activities from OECD economies (NASA, CNES, DLR, ASI, KARI, UKSA…) and the European Space Agency.
