EU sovereignty is ‘a need’ in the space, Sateliot CEO says

Updated:

Jaume Sanpera, CEO of Spanish satellite operator Sateliot, believes Europe needs to “wake up” and avoid becoming dependent on two global power blocs. The industry, he argues, needs “a push” to help European tech companies become global champions.

Sateliot, a constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) communications satellites, recently launched five new satellites. According to Sanpera, Europe “needs to have its own sovereignty in space”.

In such a fast-moving industry, concerns over overregulation remain ever-present. However, Sanpera believes Europe has “its own values”, which must be reflected in AI and other technologies.
