The second instance of the ESA Commercialisation Days series was dedicated to the synergies between the space and transportation sectors and put the spotlight on the innovative actors working at the intersection of both sectors
On 27 November 2023, about a hundred participants from all over Europe joined in ESTEC, Noordwijk (the Netherlands) to discuss about space applications in the Transportation industry.
The event started with a welcome video from ESA DG Josef Aschbacher that was followed up by an introduction speech from Geraldine Naja, Head of Commercialisation, Industry and Competiveness at ESA.
