In September 2020, the ESA Downstream Gateway and the Moon Village Association (MVA) organized the online seminar “Non Space Business goes to the Moon” to address opportunities and challenges for non-space industries as to their possible contribution to the Moon Village establishment & development.
The digital seminar intended to promote the non-space industries’ involvement in the Moon-related activities and to find mutual benefits for space and non-space industries cooperation in the context of the Moon exploration & utilization. The debate focused on the identification of economic expediency and commercial opportunities for non-space industries to invest in new developments aiming at a “dual use” (that is both for space and on-Earth applications), as well as bringing existing terrestrial solutions to the attention
of space players. The MVA confirmed the readiness to take the lead as platform for a dialogue between the two groups of industry, defining attractive cooperation models.
