How do you turn a national space strategy into real opportunities for industry, research and innovation?
That is the focus of the upcoming Info Day on Phase II of the National Space Programme – HELLAS SPACE 2.0, organised by the Ministry of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence in cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Hellenic Space Center (HSC).
The event will outline the programme’s next phase, from its overall structure and strategic priorities to the actions that are expected to follow. Just as importantly, it will bring together representatives from industry, research and public institutions to discuss what the sector needs next and where the strongest opportunities lie.
The Hellenic Space Center (HSC) has an active role in this process, helping connect national space policy with the practical needs of the country’s research and industrial community. Its focus is on strengthening coordination, enabling collaboration and helping turn strategy into concrete initiatives with long-term value for Greece’s space sector.
HELLAS SPACE 2.0 is therefore not only about planning the next phase of the programme. It is about creating the conditions for stronger partnerships, faster implementation and a more competitive and outward-looking Greek space ecosystem.
Interested parties may already submit questions regarding the programme to the email address of the General Secretariat of Telecommunications and Posts: ggtt@mindigital.gr.
In addition, it will be possible to submit questions through the ESA Star Portal (esa-star). Further information regarding the procedure and relevant details will be provided in a subsequent announcement.
Physical attendance at the event requires mandatory registration. Due to the limited capacity of the venue, registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
The introductory presentations will also be broadcast live (live streaming), enabling remote participation.
