Ireland’s investment decisions at CM22 were guided by the National Space Strategy for Enterprise 2019-2025. The national strategy aims to develop a strong and economically sustainable space-active industry in Ireland. In line with the strategy, Ireland invested in Optional Programmes which will generate commercially sustainable business opportunities, including opportunities in the emerging New Space market and in technology transfer, which can support companies to expand into multiple market verticals. Ireland continued its investment in several of ESA’s future space programmes at CM22 including PRODEX, Human Space Flight and Robotic Exploration, Earth Observation, Navigation, Telecommunications and Integrated Applications, Technology and Space Transportation.
