AuroraSpace aims to analyse the shape, form and needs of the Nordic space business sector.

The AuroraSpace project funded by the EU Interreg Aurora program aims to foster a vibrant ecosystem for the space economy across Finland, Norway, and Sweden. With a focus that extends beyond the northern Aurora region to encompass all space economy enterprises, we aim to create a comprehensive and inclusive research to the business landscape in Finland, Norway, and Sweden.

As part of advancing the innovation ecosystem, a survey will be sent to all space industry companies and organisations in Finland, Sweden, and Norway known by the members of the consortium. We encourage all the receivers of the questionnaire to participate in the survey.

This Is What We Can Offer the Participants

• Enhanced visibility: your company will be prominently featured in a comprehensive showcase of Nordic space economy enterprises. This unparalleled visibility opens doors to new partnerships, amplifies your brand presence, and positions your company as a forerunner within the industry

• Partnership opportunities: engage with a vast network of potential collaborators and stakeholders within the Nordic space economy ecosystem. Discover synergies, form new alliances, and unlock opportunities for collaborative innovation and growth.

• Access to a diverse partnership network: joining our initiative provides access to a diverse network of industry players, researchers, and innovators. Explore a multitude of partnership avenues, from joint projects to investment opportunities, within our extensive partnership network.

Through the insights gathered from the survey, we aim to tailor the space economy ecosystem to better meet the expectations of businesses, fostering a functional ecosystem for sustainable development. The survey follows guidelines set by the OECD Handbook on Measuring the Space Economy
