Space Economy activities to support ESA Council at Ministerial level, CM22


Space activities and capabilities significantly contribute to Europe’s leadership in science, technology and innovation, and support Europe’s economy and society towards more responsibility, resilience and autonomy. Space provides crucial solutions and support for monitoring, early warning, or emergency responses in case of catastrophic events.
