Europe must have the ambition to have a space programme and a space agency that is world-class and is leading. In March 2021, ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher took office and presented Agenda 2025. Working with the ESA Member States, ESA defined the Agenda, which for the next four years, puts ESA and puts space on track in order to be among the top space agencies in the world.

Agenda 2025 will bring European space to the next level. To meet our ambitions for a green, digital, safe and inclusive Europe and world, we need to accelerate the use of space in Europe.
