What is it about?
The two-day event will focus on using space data for agriculture and tourism, featuring high-level speeches, panel discussions, and presentations on the uses of space data in both domains. Success stories from different regions will provide public authorities and other regional stakeholders a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights into opportunities for using space data in agriculture and tourism and identify and promote sustainable space solutions. Building around regional best practices and success stories, the event aims at providing regions with an opportunity to learn from each other while sharing knowledge and expertise about space assets that were a breakthrough in regions.
