The Space Economy: Driving Transformation
This forum is open to participants from research centres, SMEs, universities, large industries, incubators, start-ups, innovators, policymakers, institutions, investors, associations, and all professionals engaged in the space and defence sectors.
Since 2015, Andalusia has been hosting the International Forum on Dual-Use Technologies, organized by Andalucía TRADE. This annual forum has contributed to fostering a dynamic ecosystem around dual-use technologies—those with both civilian and military applications—by bringing together SMEs, large corporations, research organizations, and universities to explore collaborative opportunities.
The 2024 edition focuses on the space industry, reflecting Seville's growing role in this sector. The city proudly hosts key organizations and initiatives related to space and innovation, highlighting its strategic importance in fostering industrial and technological development.
Additionally, various European regions are aligning their efforts with the objectives of the new EU Defence Industry Strategy, emphasizing innovation and regional growth. In Andalusia, the focus on "Space and Defence" underscores the potential of this industry to drive economic development in the region.
In this context, the International Forum on Dual Use Technologies 2024 will address the potential for accelerating the space industry across European regions, providing a comprehensive overview of the current opportunities, funding sources, and available instruments in the dual-use space sector.
