This ESA Commercialisation Gateway event on 27 November will drive forward the business ecosystem of both space and transportation. The various sessions will focus on the key actors within the space and transportation sectors and what exists at the intersection of these two industries. Geraldine Naja, the director of ESA’s department of Commercialisation, Industry and Competitiveness will open the event at ESA/ESTEC. The event will be streamed online here.
Event Scope
The way we think about transportation is changing, with traditional models, both public and private, consistently being challenged. At the same time, the demand for efficient and low emission transport options is rising sharply. How, then, is industry responding to this shift?
As transportation systems become increasingly automated, and stakeholders are looking to monitor and decrease emissions, the demand for sustainable, reliable and precise satellite navigation services is also growing. Smart Traffic Management systems and Mobility as a Service platforms play a key role in identifying optimal transportation means, in both private and public domains.
To remain competitive, industry must capitalise on the opportunities that exist at the intersection of the space and transportation sectors, specifically on the potential impact this will have on automation, connectivity, positioning, the emergence of new technologies and business models.
Institutions, research organisations, industry and investors sit at the forefront of enabling new and exciting commercial solutions that support both space and transportation. Join us on Monday 27 November to learn more about the research, services and tooling emerging from dynamic collaborations between space and transportation actors.
Programme
The day will be split into three sessions – covering automotive, maritime and rail transportation. There promises to be an excellent programme of distinguished speakers, roundtable discussions with stakeholders (startups, industry and institutions), networking opportunities and elevator pitches from the ESA startup community – including one startup linked to ESA BIC Denmark (Sternula).
The event will take place in the Highbay of the Erasmus centre in ESTEC. Click button below to view the full programme.
