Why should you participate?

Access to the CSG industrial ecosystem

Unprecedented access to information related to the CSG Range from CNES and ESA, as well as the principal industrial actors of the CSG.

The simplest, most effective method to meet other parties interested in the CSG and to become an actor in the CSG ecosystem, on your own or with the help of consortium partners.

The event platform makes available an online Marketplace for participants to showcase what they are looking for, and what they can offer, to ensure that you meet the most valuable potential partners.

Pre-arranged B2B meetings: Face to Face and Virtual

The CSG Industry Days are intended to maximize opportunities to connect and discuss future collaboration with potential partners through two days of in person and online networking.

  • If both meeting partners are onsite the B2B meetings are arranged face-to-face.
  • If one or both meeting partners stay remote the meetings are automatically scheduled as video calls using the integrated video call feature. Space is made available on-site for both the in-person and hybrid calls.

Presentations by CNES and ESA

A Tour d’Horizon on current and upcoming activities at the Spaceport, related to several subjects including the digital transformation, as well as extraordinary maintenance operations of the CSG Range.

Furthermore, direct support on:

  • How to find opportunities on ESA and CNES tendering platforms?
  • How to show your interest and stay informed?
  • How to become a part of the CSG Community?
  • As well any other questions that you may have,
