The symposium is an endeavour to explore the possibilities for our country to benefit from space technologies, leveraging the transformative opportunities which this new space era brings. The event will serve as a platform for thought leaders, scientists, policymakers, and industry experts to converge, exchange ideas, and chart the course for Mauritius’ active participation in the new global space ecosystem. By encouraging dialogue and collaboration between government agencies, private enterprises, and research institutions, we aspire to leverage collective expertise and resources to unlock the full potential of space-based solutions.
