Space technologies, including satellite data, positioning, and communications systems, are emerging as a new foundation for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of local government operations. Applications range from disaster management and infrastructure maintenance to agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and the visualization of regional challenges. Through case studies from leading municipalities, this session will explore the potential of space-enabled digital transformation (DX) and discuss key considerations for successful implementation and scaling.
As the use of space continues to expand, addressing space debris and preserving the orbital environment have become essential to realizing sustainable space business. However, implementing related technologies requires overcoming issues in research and development, commercialization, and funding, making collaboration among companies, universities, and research institutions indispensable. This panel discussion will draw on specific cases to explore the challenges of co-creation and its future prospects.
