The role played by Puglia in the development of the autonomous access to space and the way in which the pioneer startups of Italy, the United States and Japan redefine the space sector were at the centre of the address given by the president and director general of the Aerospace Technology District, Giuseppe Acierno, during Expo 2025 Osaka.

It was also an occasion for international experts to discuss experiences and models of development of spaceports in the world and their role in the future space economy thanks to the work of Aeroporti di Puglia and the project of the Grottaglie spaceport.

During the talk, successful models for the support of space startups were compared and policies to speed up the progress of emerging technologies were discussed, according to a statement.

“We have placed such initiatives and activities at the centre of a debate with institutions, businesses and Japanese and US agencies.
