Representative from organisations including the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the European Investment Bank, the United Nations and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development will take part in the event.

Josef Aschbacher, ESA’s Director General, will explain how ESA supports the commercialisation of space as part of his Agenda 2025 vision, in a session chaired by Donatella Ponziani, who leads the agency’s Downstream Gateway that aims to enable entrepreneurs to use space to realise their ideas.

The webinar will then consider the roles of industry and academia in the digitalisation and greening of finance, before examining how ESA can help in detail.

Regulators, policy makers, bankers, ratings agencies, insurers, academics, private companies and individuals are all welcome to register to attend the free event.
