Securing Europe, Serving Europe: Turning EU Space Data into Strategic and Commercial Reality

The commercialisation gap in Europe's space infrastructure is not a technology problem, or a funding problem. It is a signal problem. The system integrators, defence primes and investors who must build on Galileo, Copernicus and IRIS' are making platform decisions now, often without sufficient clarity on where European infrastructure is heading and what's expected of them. With the recast to the EU Space Services Agency underway, IRIS' in its design phase, and next-generation Galileo services approaching operational status, this is the window in which industry must commit. This keynote sets out the clearest signal yet that European infrastructure is the platform to build on.
