SPACE
Shaping the Future of Space in Defence & Sustainability
At this pivotal moment in the European space ecosystem, where the sector faces significant challenges to future competitiveness, CEiiA is proud to be part of the conversation.
In collaboration with our space business partners, N3O and GEOSAT we’re leading the charge on the Atlantic Constellation—a groundbreaking initiative designed to deliver multi-sensor, high-resolution capabilities that will transform the defence and sustainability markets. But this journey begins with our program, where over the past two years we have been inspiring and challenging the next generation to envision how space technologies can address real-world challenges here on Earth.
As Prof. Manuel Heitor highlighted in his keynote speech today:
"The European space and defence ecosystem must engage more with young minds, providing them with the opportunities and resources they need to shape the future. We urge the Commission to launch the 'Choose Europe' program to foster research careers and expand fellowship opportunities across academia, research, and technology organizations."
We’re committed to driving innovation, fostering talent, and ensuring Europe remains at the forefront of the space industry.
