Space: It’s Not All About Stars

Space isn’t just about rockets and astronauts. It is also shaping industries, driving sustainability, and solving real-world challenges. From agriculture to climate resilience, satellite technology and AI are reshaping how we monitor the planet, make decisions, and build a more sustainable future.

In this episode, we explore how space data is powering smarter farming, strengthening global collaborations, and creating new business opportunities with Ruud Grim, Program Manager for Space for Sustainable Development at the Netherlands Space Office. We also discuss the future of space-driven innovation and why it’s becoming a key tool for tackling some of Earth’s biggest challenges.
