3. The Regional Dimension of Space
« Space for Regions » is at the core of Nereus vision
Demand side, to promote space applications for the benefits of citizens and modernization of public administration
Supply side, to facilitate interregional and inter-cluster cooperation
Space Technologies & Applications  fundamental to foster new business & address social, economic & security challenges with efficient, sustainable tools

4. European Space Sustainability & 3S Strategy
Smart Specialization: pillar “ European Strategy 2020”
Aerospace -> innovative driver of the Puglia 3S
One goal -> to connect infrastructures & environment to achieve the SDGs, in line with our regional strategy4sustainability -> crucial for our future and essential for our environment

5. Intercluster Cooperation
Apulia Space Strategy -> Intercluster cooperation
DTA -> several cooperation agreement with other Clusters in Europe
DTA & Piedmont Cluster working together -> founders of CTNA,; cooperation with industries, universities & research centers in aerospace
Interregional cooperation -> the Italian Space Economy programme -> a program dimension exceeding 1 B€ in the next 3 years
Bilateral cooperation: Grottaglie test bed -> facility for testing & exploiting UAV & their integration with Space Technology -> Piedmont expertise can benefit of such strong cooperation with Apulia

6. APULIAN AEROSPACE SECTOR FACTS & FIGURES

7. APULIAN AEROSPACE SECTOR: FACTS & FIGURES
Research and development/ Project value 101 Mio€
Training/ Project value 15 Mio€
Industrial Initiatives/ Project value 70 Mio€
Apulia -> Region with the biggest growth in the national aerospace field ->
Increasing: employees, sales, exports, new enterprises, number of researchers and research labs, private and public investments.

16. Conclusion
Political dialogue with key players in space and interregional cooperation among the Nereus regions with “space” in their 3S Strategies are fundamental for promoting
4S Strategy
a stronger involvement of regional private actors, research centres, SMEs and industrial clusters
developing joint strategic activities for Regions such as planetary exploration, commercial utilization of Space, industry capacity building and space service

17. To look up at the stars and not down at your feet
So remember …
To look up at the stars and not down at your feet
Try to make sense of what you see and wonder what makes a Universe exist
Be Curious!
