Biggest Danish Space Innovation and Trade Promotion Trip Ever on its Way to the US
The US space industry is developing rapidly, and Danish organisations can play a role by contributing with leading space technology to the US market. Together with Texas-based Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen among other things, Danish companies and researchers will spend next week in Houston and meet with relevant actors with a view to strengthening American-Danish cooperation on space technology.
On Sunday, January 29, 30 Danish space companies, researchers and experts will travel to Houston, Texas to meet with the booming American space industry together with Andreas Mogensen. The delegation is the largest Danish space innovation and trade promotion trip ever and will help to promote Danish space technology and innovation in the US as well as increase the Danish-American cooperation and trade within the sector.
The delegation will, among other things, visit the Johnson Space Center, where the Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen works for European Space Agency as liaison to NASA. Furthermore, they will visit Boeing Aviation and Elon Musk's SpaceX near the Mexican border at their Boca Chica rocket launch site. The group will also meet with American start-ups, companies, and research institutions that develop and deliver solutions for both NASA's space program and future commercial space stations.
"It is the right time for Denmark’s space industry to have an innovation and trade promotion trip to the USA. The American space industry is developing rapidly these years, and there is a great appetite for collaborating with international innovative partners to develop the space technologies of the future," says Morten Siem Lynge, Consul General in Houston.
With the USA's plans for manned visits to the moon and later Mars as well as a private commercial space industry on the rise, the country remains the world's undisputed leading space nation, technologically and economically. The global market for space technology is estimated at 469 billion USD in 2022. The market is currently growing at 9 percent per year and is projected to reach $1 trillion by 2040. The United States invests approximately six times as much in the field as China, which has the world's second largest space economy. The USA is therefore an extremely attractive partner for Denmark.
The trip to Houston is organized by the Consulate General of Denmark in Houston, Innovation Centre Denmark in Silicon Valley, the Danish Tech Ambassador's office in Silicon Valley in collaboration with the Space Office of the Danish Agency for Education and Research.
