Forum Europe

The recent European Space Forum was held under the auspices of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2024. We had the chance to listen to a keynote address from Thomas Dermine, State Secretary for Recovery and Strategic Investment, in charge of BELSPO from the Government of Belgium. Afterwards, we asked Thomas to tell us what he sees as the three greatest priorities for the space sector in Europe presently. Top of his list was the maiden flight of Ariane 6. Following Tuesday's successful launch, watch the video to hear Thomas' full answer and next priorities. #EUSpaceForum
