Welcome to AuroraSpace
PROJECT PLAN
Our mission is clear: boost space businesses, enhance sustainability practices, and address pressing societal challenges in our region. By fostering collaboration and generating new businesses, we’re not only advancing commercial processes but also paving the way for a sustainable future.
Previous projects in the Botnia-Atlantica and Nord Interreg regions underscored the necessity for supporting space education, RDI, and career mobility.
From engaging high schools to universities, AURORASPACE will ensure that education in space-related fields is accessible to all. Following the European Space Agency’s lead, AURORASPACE will also facilitate crucial dialogues on how we can promote greater involvement of women in STEM and empower future generations from all backgrounds. Consequentially, our collaboration spans universities, research institutes, large industries, and SMEs, fostering a dynamic environment for innovation and research as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Together, we’re not only shaping the future of space innovation but also empowering businesses, promoting equity, facilitating education,
and building a sustainable tomorrow.
Welcome to a new era of space exploration in the Aurora Interreg region!
