From 17-20 April 2023, under the joint NL Space umbrella, they represent the Dutch space industry. This year&#8217;s delegation is the largest to the symposium and carries a comprehensive profile of the knowledge and skills of the Dutch space sector.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Innovations developed by the Dutch space sector contribute to everyday applications. From navigation and telecommunications to climate change monitoring and security, the impact of space industry is everywhere. Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos may be prominent within the rapidly growing international space industry landscape, but the Dutch space sector definitely holds its own in this arena. For this reason, Dutch companies in this landscape have joined forces in a collaboration, supported by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), the Dutch Embassy in the US and the Dutch space agency Netherlands Space Office, to pursue opportunities in the US and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>The Netherlands is known worldwide for its innovative and versatile knowledge-economy and its compact\u2014and open\u2014ecosystem for developments in the space sector. This ecosystem is based on the unique and intensive collaboration between companies, institutes, universities and the government. For decades, Dutch innovations, knowledge and products have been vital to the advancement of global space industry.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe Dutch space ecosystem is unique. Nowhere else will you find such a concentration of high-tech companies that work together with the government and official bodies to jointly put\u2014and keep\u2014the Dutch space sector on the map. The level of our knowledge and skills, in combination with the openness and international character that the Dutch space industry is known for, enables us to present as a united collaboration to our important American partners.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\nJasper van Loon, director of Space Business at NSO.<\/p>\n<p>The Dutch delegation to the 38th Space Symposium is a collaboration between technology companies, knowledge institutes, universities, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, the Ministry of Defence, the Dutch Embassy in Washington, the Dutch Consulate in San Francisco, the Netherlands Space Office and the Netherlands Innovation Network.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About NL Space<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Netherlands was part of the inception of European space travel and has always played a leading international role in scientific space research.
