UID:68855-1651690800-1651696200@spacegeneration.org SUMMARY:The space start-up ecosystem in France DESCRIPTION:Wanna launch your own start-up in the space sector ? Are you curious to learn more about this specific ecosystem ? This webinar is about to introduce you to the space start-up ecosystem\, the role of support organizations (like incubators\, accelerators\, consulting companies) at each stage of a company development. The discussion will be followed by a start-up presentation and Q&A session. Let’s start !  \nREGISTER NOWGuillaume Tanier \nGuillaume Tanier spent the last 10 years designing\, building\, and selling space software. He has worked with most of the key actors of the space industry\, small or large\, institutional or commercial\, established or emerging\, across the globe. With 15 years of experience\, he has been a successful software engineer\, business developer\, and product manager. In 2020\, he co-founded Leanspace. With a group of incredibly talented people\, an amazing and powerful vision\, they are building a new space company that will be a cornerstone to enable the future space economy. \nAurélien Strippoli \nAurélien Strippoli works as business innovation manager for Airbus Defence & Space\, helping internal innovation projects grow and mature into new products and services.

SG[India] 2022 is focused on encouraging the use of space for social benefits. The founder of the Indian space program Dr Vikram Sarabhai encouraged harnessing space technologies for social benefits. SG[India] is taking that initiative forward with this significant local event.  \nThe program will consist of keynote speeches and panels\, and a round of discussions\, followed by working group sessions where participants are split into groups and work together on proposed topics guided by subject matter experts from our sponsors and other SGAC teams. \n\nAs we are unable to have an offline event despite our best efforts due to the current 3rd wave of the pandemic\, we will ensure that the audience will have a proactive role in the event! \n\nThe language will be English since the organisers aim to be inclusive and diverse concerning participants and panel experts. \nWorking Groups\n \nWG1 Details\nWG1: Global Partnership in Space Exploration & Innovation\nWe humans always want to touch every inch of the universe. States and space agencies have been engaged in space exploration by one way or another since our first launch. Nowadays focus is shifted to robotic missions beyond our earth and solar system. So\, How can we do it collaboratively? How can a global partnership develop to have futuristic space exploration missions? What are challenges ahead of it and how to overcome them? This working group targets a start of a chain to have sustainable global partnership for Space Exploration and innovation. \n \nWG2 Details\nWG2: Strengthened Space Cooperation in Global Health\nSG[India] is themed to harness space technologies for social benefits. Past two years were so much difficult for the world due to the health system crisis. UNOOSA also has it in one of their thematic priorities to strengthen the global health system using space. This working group entails discussion about how space can be an important factor to strengthen the global health ecosystem. \n \nWG3 Details\nWG3: Global space governance: Current and Future Perspectives\nWe still don’t have any remarkable intergovernmental level space governance. What should be the code of conduct\, confidence building measures\, safety concepts and regulations for a global space system? How can we take initiative for this? What are the challenges? How can we establish standards and regulations related to it? This working group takes a small leap towards knocking the doors of the global space system to have a proper foundation of Global space governance.  \n \nWG4 Details\nWG4: Diversity and Equality in the Space Industry: Challenges and Possible Solutions\nOnly around 1 in 5 space industry workers are women\, roughly the same proportion as 30 years ago. Only 11% of astronauts to date have been women. What gives rise to this difference? Why are conditions still almost the same as they were decades ago? With this working group\, the delegates will first attempt to understand the underlying causes of bias in the space sector and its impact\, both immediate and long-term. They will study the current solutions in place to tackle this\, how effective they have been and will then brainstorm possible challenges and solutions on how to eliminate bias and harassment in the workplace while fostering an era of gender equality and diversity in the aerospace industry. \n \nWG5 Details\nWG5: International Cooperation to Mitigate the Threat of Space Debris\nSpace debris has been a topic of intense debates and discussions over the past years\, yet the threat it poses becomes more real with every passing day. It is estimated that there are around 200\,000 pieces sized between 0.4 and 4 inches\, and millions of pieces smaller than 1cm. With over 3200 defunct satellites already in orbit\, this kind of debris can lead to catastrophic consequences and the loss of potentially critical services. In this working group\, the delegates will discuss how international regulation in this domain can shape the future of space and what kind of policies can be put into place to regulate space launches in a way that will help minimise new space debris. They will also analyse what kind of initiatives and markets can be created on a global scale to mitigate existing debris and how that will impact the space economy as a whole. \n \nWG6 Details\nWG6: Space4SDGs: Space Technology for Tackling Climate Change\nClimate change over the next few decades will define the future of our planet and human civilization. We have already seen unprecedented global disasters which can directly be linked to the result of global warming. Space technology\, in the form of earth observation satellites and remote sensing\, has already increased scientists’ understanding of climate change and subsequent disaster management by leaps and bounds. Delegates of this working group will discuss the actions being taken currently by different space agencies across the world to assist with the Sustainable Development Goals put forward by the United Nations. They will aim to determine how space technology can be further used to mitigate the consequences of climate change and what challenges need to be overcome to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees centigrade. \nClick on the button below to download SG[India] Information Kit \nDOWNLOAD KITKeynote Speakers\, Panelists\, SME’s and Moderators \nDetailsScheduleSchedule\n  \nAll times are in Indian Standard Time (GMT+5:30)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime\n\n\nSchedule*\n\n\n\n\n9:00 – 10:00\n\n\nInaugural Speech by Shri S.

WI stands for West Indies\, which is another name the collection Caribbean of islands with similar history/culture is called. The phrasing of the title also represents common Caribbean dialect so instead of saying “What space can do for us”\, some Caribbean natives might say “What Space can do for we”). \nThis webinar will feature an introductory session discussing the potential benefits and feasibility of space technology to the Caribbean. The session on 31st July will focus on how space technology can play an integral role in the Caribbean achieving Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities & Communities. No prior Space knowledge is required \nCities by their very nature are hubs for ideas\, commerce\, culture\, science\, productivity\, social development and much more. They are an essential part of humanity’s advancement\, both socially and economically. \nHowever\, they all face unique challenges especially in the Caribbean. In addition to discussing the challenges that might impede sustainable cities and communities in the Caribbean\, the purpose of this webinar is to discuss how to maintain Caribbean cities in a way that continues to create jobs and prosperity without straining land and resources. For instance\, Space technologies can help in developing sustainable cities and communities in the Caribbean by developing Smart Cities through the application of Global Navigation Satellite Systems\, Earth Observation and Satellite Telecommunications. \nMoreover\, space technologies can also improve city services and disaster management. \n  \nREGISTER HERE  \n  \nYour Speaker \nBritt Adkins is the first space urban planner and founder of Celestial Citizen. She is passionate about the intersection of urban planning\, engineering\, science\, and social justice as humans look to build new societies in space. Celestial Citizen is a platform for promoting a more equitable and just vision of planetary settlement beyond Earth.

Stakeholders have different commercial and political interests and the only thing they have in common is wanting to be able to use the space environment for future generations. How could the new generation in Germany champion solving this issue\, promoting a responsible use of space\, while providing business opportunities to the national actors? \nCyber Security\nThis topic addresses how data may become commoditized (and even weaponized) in the future and how new space-based solutions may help increase cyber-resilience. From blockchain in space to hosting servers on the Moon\, novel and captivating solutions will be explored in conjunction with the group. \nNew Space\nThis topic looks at promising companies developed in Germany in the last 10 years and explores the pace of change of the space economy and how new companies adapt to an increasingly fast-changing ecosystem. What are the biggest innovation drivers\, opportunities\, and challenges in the country for the space sector? \nDigital Earth Twin\nClimate change\, deforestation\, depletion of resources\, overpopulation… how can a digital Earth twin help predicting the future? What inputs and outputs are needed to create smart(er) cities\, ensure food security\, and maintain ecological health? How can an interactive model of the Earth (that accurately reflects diverse physical aspects of our planet) help society\, politicians\, and even machines make informed/better decisions in Germany? \nDownstream Applications\nDownstream applications – Downstream applications of EO and GNSS data have generated an ever-growing market with many new players emerging. This is a true opportunity of NewSpace start-ups completing the entire value chain of space-based services.
