We use the power of space to spark curiosity, unite Europe and inspire people from every background. By strengthening cooperation across the European space community, building international partnerships and engaging younger generations, we turn shared ambition into progress for Europe and the world.



Our objectives through 2040:

  • Reinforce the European space ecosystem through world-class project management and intensified cooperation among key European stakeholders.
  • Position ESA as a model for leveraging space activities inclusively to inspire young people and future generations from diverse backgrounds.
  • Enable ESA Member States and the EU to harness space capabilities for greater influence in international diplomacy and global affairs.

This is one of five strategic goals guiding ESA through 2040. Explore the full strategy to discover how our ambitions and actions come together to elevate the future of Europe through space.
