From enabling climate monitoring and disaster response to ensuring secure connectivity and powering digital services, EO and SatCom are not only technological assets but also strategic tools that shape Europe’s resilience, sustainability, and leadership on the global stage.

Within the Space Partnership, EO and SatCom have already been recognised as priority areas in the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). The upcoming Workshop will provide a crucial opportunity to:
Revisit and refine priorities in light of evolving markets, user needs, and policy developments.

Identify gaps where targeted innovation and new solutions are essential.
Strengthen alignment across Europe’s diverse space supply chain, from SMEs and RTOs to industry leaders and institutions.

By contributing your expertise, you’ll help update the detailed content of the SRIA and ensure that Europe’s EO and SatCom capabilities remain robust, competitive, and ready to serve both society and the economy.

👉 Mark your calendars for 22 October and join us in shaping this strategic direction together.
