Under the theme \u2018Responsible space for sustainability\u2019, the event brings together over 150 exhibitors and more than 8,000 experts from industry, research and institutions from around the world in this field to discuss the use of space to support sustainability.<\/span><\/p>\n Promoted by the Secretariat for Digital Policies of the Department of Business and Work and the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia<\/a> (IEEC \u2014 Institut d\u2019Estudis Espacials de Catalunya) in the framework of the NewSpace Strategy of Catalonia<\/a>, the NewSpace Catalonia pavilion hosts a total of 14 companies from the Catalan space ecosystem in a space of more than 140 m\u00b2 located in a prominent place of the fair. The pavilion also has the collaboration of the other two promoters of the strategy, the i2CAT Foundation and the Cartographic and Geological Institute of Catalonia (ICGC), and the DCA-NewSpace, the community of the Digital Catalonia Alliance (DCA) that integrates companies, research centres, administrations and other entities that develop, integrate, implement or offer technological solutions based on NewSpace.

Of these 14 companies, 12 are members of the DCA-NewSpace community and 6 are startups incubated at ESA BIC Barcelona, the incubation programme of the European Space Agency (ESA) promoted by the Secretariat for Digital Policies in the framework of the NewSpace Strategy, the Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya (UPC) and the Parc Mediterrani de la Tecnologia (PMT).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n In addition, the Catalan stand has shared presentation and networking spaces so that companies and organisations from the Catalan space ecosystem\u2014including Compoxi, Leaf Space <\/strong>and Open Cosmos<\/strong>, the latter two with their own stand at IAC 24\u2014can publicise their activities, establish contacts with other leading players in the global space sector and promote global collaborations. At the institutional level, the Catalan delegation is headed by the Secretary for Digital Policies, <\/span>Maria Galindo<\/b>, and the Director of the IEEC, <\/span>Ignasi Ribas<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The participation of the Catalan space ecosystem in this world reference event has a threefold objective: to project internationally the commitment of the Government of Catalonia, embodied in the NewSpace Strategy of Catalonia, for the great opportunities offered by the new space economy; to show the world the industrial, innovation and talent generation capabilities present in the Catalan ecosystem; and to encourage participating Catalan companies to do business and establish international contacts as part of an innovative ecosystem.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Thus, in addition to participating in the activities of the fair and congress itself, the Catalan delegation will organise its own activities, such as meetings with delegations, agencies and companies from other countries, public presentations of initiatives within the framework of the NewSpace Strategy, and networking meetings at the NewSpace Catalonia stand to connect the global ecosystem with participating Catalan companies and organisations.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.8″

with the participation of the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC), the i2CAT Foundation and the Cartographic and Geological Institute of Catalonia (ICGC), the NewSpace Strategy of Catalonia is designed to take advantage of and maximise the opportunities of this new economic area based on the use of small satellites orbiting at low altitude and the exploitation of their data.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Thus, the strategy deploys a series of specific actions with the aim of evaluating the adoption of NewSpace technology in the services of the Government of Catalonia, acting as a driver for its development in the different productive sectors and, at the same time, placing the Catalan space ecosystem on the international game board linked to this new emerging field and promoting the generation, attraction and retention of talent in Catalonia.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.8″
