Space and Portugal

Portugal has a dynamic space sector bringing together established companies, start-ups, universities and research organisations. Its capabilities span satellite technologies, telecommunications, software, Earth observation and services that transform space data into practical applications. Portugal’s Atlantic location also provides opportunities for activities related to tracking, monitoring and access to space. Through ESA programmes, Portuguese organisations develop expertise, test new technologies and strengthen their position in European and international markets, contributing to economic growth, resilience and a more competitive European space ecosystem.
