Description

More than 50 countries are operating satellites worldwide and many more have become active users of space applications: they are all actors in the global space economy. This session aims to provide a picture of emerging space countries as both users and developers of space systems and applications. Topics of interest include: incentives to attract commercial space activities in some of these countries, specific economic models that are put in place, and new markets opening up (e.g. telecom, navigation, remote sensing).
