The role played by Puglia in the

which the pioneer startups of Italy, the United States and Japan
redefine the space sector were at the centre of the address
given by the president and director general of the Aerospace
Technology District (DTA), Giuseppe Acierno, during Expo 2025
Osaka.


It was also an occasion for international experts to discuss
experiences and models of development of spaceports in the world
and their role in the future space economy thanks to the work of
Aeroporti di Puglia and the project of the Grottaglie spaceport.


During the talk, successful models for the support of space
startups were compared and policies to speed up the progress of
emerging technologies were discussed, according to a statement.


“At the centre of the week on the mobility of the future being
celebrated at Osaka Expo, we were able to connect and promote
our activities and initiatives: the incubator of the European
Space Agency we manage, Grottaglie’s Test Bed and spaceport”,
said Acierno.

a debate with institutions, businesses and Japanese and US
