In this month’s Perspectives, ESPI Director Hermann Ludwig Moeller reflects the 16th European Space Conference, including ESPI’s contribution. He presents some key takeaways, as also presented in his speech, which was concluding the conference highlighting key topics as well as identifying gaps – themes that received less attention at the conference. He concludes that Europe needs, beyond regulations, rules, and governance discussions, actually funded space programmes and projects for industry to implement, to provide solutions to society and the economy. He underlines that ESPI will continue to provide independent recommendations and proposals as presented in ESPI2040.
