Webinar: Introducing the EU Space Programme: Exploring the benefits of EU space data for the Gulf

This closed - invitation only - webinar provided an introduction to the EU Space programme and showcased the various uses of EU Space data that could benefit the Gulf region, such as: land use and land-use conversion (e.g., agriculture and urbanisation), resource management, emergency response, transport, and security. It also further explored the economic benefits and market potential of those data.

The participants had the opportunity to hear from leading institutional speakers from the European Commission’s DG Defence Industry and Space (DG DEFIS), the EU Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA), and a representative from the Gulf Cooperation Council.
