The space economy has become a strategic driver of global growth. From the development of new satellite services to Earth observation, from defence technologies to applications for environmental sustainability, space is no longer just a field for scientific exploration, but a key infrastructure for the economy, security and innovation. In this rapidly changing scenario, Italy too plays a significant role in the international space sector, thanks to its industrial expertise and technological capacity. Maintaining and strengthening this position, however, requires a strategic vision capable of seizing emerging opportunities and adequate governance to expand this profitable sector.

The meeting with Marcello Spagnulo, Advisor at the Technical Table of COMINT (Interministerial Committee for Space and Aerospace Policies), will provide participants with a clear and up-to-date reading of the sector by delving into:

• the meaning of the Space Economy and its historical evolution
• how the Space Economy is reshaping the Earth's economy, with concrete impacts on economic dynamics, the environment, defence and new technologies
• future prospects and opportunities for a rapidly evolving sector.
