At the World Satellite Business Week, @massimoc_square, Managing Director of #LeonardoSpace, joined the discussion on how Europe can turn its technological strengths into a competitive and sustainable Space economy.

From the integration of Space and digital technologies to low-latency, multi-sensor Earth Observation capabilities, Leonardo is working to deliver increasingly responsive solutions for institutional, commercial and defence users.

Scaling up, however, means more than technology. It means investing in R&D and industrial capacity, strengthening connections across the European value chain, and bringing innovation to global markets and final users.

Building a stronger, more integrated European space ecosystem is therefore essential to achieving the critical mass needed to compete globally and sustain long-term growth.

Four days in Paris, bringing together the global Space community to discuss how the sector is evolving — from Connectivity and Earth Observation to defence and security.

At World Space Business Week and the Space Defense & Security Summit (@nvs_summits), #LeonardoSpace, together with @telespazio and @e_geos, contributed to the debate on some of the key elements shaping the future of Space.

🔹 @massimoc_square, Managing Director of #LeonardoSpace, focused on what Europe needs to turn its technological strengths into an always more competitive and sustainable Space economy: greater scale, continued investment in R&D and industrial capacity, stronger integration across the European value chain, and the capacity to bring innovation to global markets. Building a more integrated European space ecosystem is essential to achieving the critical mass needed to compete globally and sustain long-term growth.

🔹 Gianluca Baldassarre, SVP Satellite Communications at Telespazio, addressed the rapid transformation of satellite communications. New constellations, operators and customers are reshaping the market, while sovereignty, interoperability and the ability to evolve services rapidly are becoming increasingly important — particularly for critical infrastructures and areas where satellite connectivity can make a tangible difference.

🔹 At the Space Defense & Security Summit, Marco Brancati, SVP Technology and Innovation Governance at Leonardo Space, highlighted the growing role of Space within the multidomain environment. Earth Observation, connectivity and Space Domain Awareness are becoming increasingly interconnected, making technologies such as onboard processing, intersatellite links and multi-mission ground segments — together with interoperability by design — key enablers for future systems.

🔹 Milena Lerario, CEO of e-GEOS, brought an Earth Observation data perspective to the discussion, highlighting how SAR is becoming a primary source of information, providing continuous observations independently of daylight and weather conditions. The integration of SAR and optical imagery enables a more comprehensive understanding of events, while customer demand is increasingly shifting towards information, analytics and operational services rather than raw data and complex processing chains.
