The last decade has brought a paradigm shift in the space industry. What was once a field where only large agencies could move, is now a field open to an endless number of companies, institutions and projects.

An environment that allows new generations of engineers and scientists to contribute to progress in the sector and develop space technology and industry at high speed.

In particular, Europe has a strong environment of companies and agencies making a huge effort to involve the new generations in this new wave of progress. This communication will present the most important aspects of New Space as well as present the great opportunities that are opening up in the sector for young professionals who want to write their future in the stars.
