Background and Short History

 

• A Founding Meeting attended by 16 organizations from across six continents in person and online  took place 15 Oct at IAC 2024 in Milan.  NGO space enabler organizations and individuals worldwide are co-creating a decentralized Global Space Enablers Network (GSEN). By sharing best practices, resources, knowledge, etc., we hope to empower local movers directly to catalyze space ecosystems in developing and emerging countries.

• A global survey on space enabler experiences, needs, and recommendations from organizations globally was presented at the International Space Congress (IAC) 2024 in Milan on 16 Oct. 2024. Read the paper  co-authored by organizations reps from SpaceTide, Singapore Space and Technology Limited, Global Entrepreneurship Network – SPACE, Space Generation Advisory Council, Central American Space Congress, Spacehubs Africa, and the International Space University.  IAC Poster can be accessed here.
