🚀 Europe’s reliance on space is undeniable: satellite navigation alone supports over 10% of the EU’s GDP, highlighting the strategic weight of space infrastructure. In France, the space sector generated €10.8 billion in turnover and sustained more than 33,000 jobs in 2020, while in the UK, space-driven activities accounted for about 18% of GDP by 2025.
