Numerous technologies created specifically for use in aerospace are now in common use today: from memory foam mattresses to anti-glare glasses, from wi-fi to telemedicine, miniature smartphone cameras, portable biometric sensors and the wireless vacuum cleaner which draws its technology from the portable collection systems designed for the Apollo missions.
SCIENCE, INDUSTRY, FINANCE AND INNOVATION
Explore the leading event for the Space Economy and innovation
BEX Beyond Exploration is the new scientific and industrial platform that transforms space ideas into real opportunities.
Here, panels and workshops drive innovation, the Exhibition Arena turns ideas into tangible applications, and B2B, B2G, and B2C networking and matchmaking create strategic connections and fuel qualified investments.
Thanks to an approach that integrates both space and non-space sectors, direct interaction with the investment community, and a context aimed at empowering new generations of talent, it aspires to establish itself as a European hub for innovation.
