EUSPA AI week
Recognising AI’s immense potential to enable – even revolutionise – the space downstream market, EUSPA organised EUSPA AI Week. During the virtual events, which took place between 19 – 23 January 2026, various EUSPA-funded Horizon Europe and Fundamental Elements projects provided a brief overview of their work and shared how they use AI to address topics relevant to the space downstream sector.
Each session included ample time for questions and answers. Below, you can explore the agenda, access the session presentations, and learn more about the showcased projects.
