Participants at ESA’s Space2Connect conference – to be held from 7 to 9 June in Matera, Italy – will explore how space can help to keep people and devices constantly connected to one other in today’s digital society.

The Space2Connect 2023 programme will examine how to use space for the benefit of society and how these societal needs can shape the ambition of the space industry in Europe. It will analyse how to enable the space industry to deliver the best outcomes for European citizens and the values that it needs to adopt.

The conference includes access to all plenary and parallel sessions, lunches, coffee breaks and social events including a tour of the main operation centre of the Italian Space Agency (ASI).
