Title

Space Economy: Valuing the Uses

Description

The ‘space economy’ covers the value-chain of the space sector (from launchers to satellites and space services) and its various downstream applications. This session will focus on actual examples (with figures), where the value of investing in space systems and/or its downstream uses is discussed (e.g. job creation due to a space activity, returns on investment, direct and indirect value-added for various applications, cost-savings). Presentations which take into account externalities of space activities are particularly encouraged (e.g. financial risks, liabilities, debris).
