Commercial utilization of space is poised to become a trillion Euro business in the next decade. An especially promising area of strong growth opportunities for Danish industry is the commercial utilization of satellite-based products and services: navigation, connectivity and remote sensing.

Under the headline “Using satellites for commercial growth” the first edition of the yearly recurring SPACE_DK conference will focus on the emerging opportunities for Danish industry in commercial use of satellites across industry sectors.

SPACE_DK 2022 will provide an overview of global commercial trends and opportunities, highlight successful examples of commercial satellite applications and show the way forward for Danish industry.
