Economist Impact: Space Summit Report

The space sector is evolving rapidly, creating opportunities for regional initiatives to drive innovation, attract investment and strengthen national industries. Across the next decade, until 2035, these initiatives will help build up the space ecosystem, bridge gaps between research and industry, and act as the foundation on which countries not yet widely recognised for their achievements in space become leaders in the field.

To discuss these possibilities, Emir Sirage, the Executive Director of NEW SPACE PORTUGAL, joined Alok Jha, science and technology editor of The Economist, for a fireside chat on December 4th 2024, in Lisbon at the second annual Space Economy Summit.
