This growth is driven by both public and private investment, with European funding rising from less than 200 million in 2019 to more than 1 billion annually over the past three years. Space applications are now essential for telecommunications, navigation, environmental monitoring and security. New business models are emerging in areas such as space debris removal, in-orbit manufacturing, and the lunar economy, while geopolitics reinforces space’s role in defense and strategic resilience.\n\n\n\nFor more than 50, the European Space Agency (ESA) has been a key player, funding research, promoting ecosystem development, and fostering public-private collaboration. France and Italy play a leading role in the European space economy, with world-leading companies and structured cooperation within the Space Alliance, consisting of Thales Alenia Space and Telespazio, a joint venture between the French group Thales and the Italian Leonardo.\n\n\n\nThis roundtable provides an opportunity to explore the dynamics of this growing sector, analyzing the synergies between the two countries and future prospects in a European and global context.\n\n\n\nRegistration is required by clicking HERE ( https://a6rod.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/1t6Af4OiGsEagCYrRwcyNcT5pLuIfF/OU7j0MSQ5s40 )\n\n\n\n\n
