#ICYMI, you can watch the replay of our discussion: Taming competition in low and high orbit. With world-leading space systems that guide our every day lives, such as Copernicus and Galileo, and with the exponentially increasing use of *space as THE solution* to many of the world's biggest challenges, the space economy grows. In parallel, so does the importance of establishing common rules and regulations, defining common standards, and fostering more meaningful cooperation. @ESA is actively supporting and even leading in many activities in this direction.
