Cities dedicated to the development of space sectors through collaboration and events.
The purpose of the Space Cities Network is to increase collaboration across the space sector encompassing universities, research centers, Government agencies, industry and corporate.
The Space Cities Network is represented by 4 cities, Lausanne, Christchurch, Houston and Abu Dhabi.
The network will involve a select community of highly regarded, connected and influential people who are locally and/or globally recognized in their fields of expertise, as well as key Convention Bureau personnel from the five cities. The Bureau will provide a mechanism for supporting the development of the Network.
• Connect globally across business, education and policy areas
• Grow local sector expertise
• Connect aerospace communities, providing new partnerships and opportunities
• Develop career paths
• Open up new opportunities for collaboration
• Host international space-related business events
• Deliver long-term, purposeful outcomes for the benefit of the space sector and the cities involved in the network
Shape the future with the cities.
