CM22 Accelerators and Inspirators

The ESA Accelerators are initiatives agreed on by the Member States to speed up the use of space to solve today’s biggest challenges such as climate change and space safety. The Inspirators are ambitious targets to catapult Europe’s position as a global leader in space technology, innovation, and deep-space scientific exploration that will also promote commercialisation, a modern, forward-looking European entrepreneurial landscape, multilateral cooperation, education, the development of human capital and STEM.

Accelerating Space in Europe

Government ministers in charge of space activities met in Toulouse, France in February 2022 and confirmed the plans to work closely together to accelerate Europe as a world leader in space. ESA, the European Union and their member states are uniting to ensure that Europe fully realises the enormous untapped potential for space to tackle the urgent and unprecedented societal, economic and security challenges it faces. A further Space Summit is planned in 2023.
