EUROPEAN SPACE ECOSYSTEM INTEGRATION SUMMIT
Europe is a unique regional space ecosystem. Thanks to both the ESA and the EU, it has the advantage of unprecedented connectivity among its industrial actors. A collaboration framework enabling countries to pool talent, know-how, and resources together to pursue common goals. At the same time, no other region in the world has so many emerging space ecosystems within developed economies offering well-established R&D institutions with relevant expertise, strong STEM education centers ready to prepare a new talent base, and high-tech companies capable of bringing their know-how to space.
Efficiently unlocking and integrating this untapped potential will support the growth of the emerging space ecosystems of Europe, creating demand for increased investment, and demand for space in general. It will bring innovation and new niche technology rather than competitive duplicity, and gradual growth in the common budget rather than fragmented initiatives.
Two successful editions of Emerging Space European Industry Summit were already held in Bratislava to foster such integration between the well-established industry and emerging space ecosystems of European space. Building up on these foundations, we are committed to further advancing this initiative as European Space Ecosystem Integration Summit to jointly support building bridges and utilizing the full potential of the European space ecosystem. We are convinced, that ESEIS will contribute to making our European space ecosystem better integrated and more cohesive, and through that – stronger and more competitive.
