infoShare is the biggest CEE Region IT & New Media festival that will take place on 11-12 June, in AMBEREXPO, Gdańsk. As infoShare is an annual event which has been organized since 2007, this year, there has been prepared a number of exciting meetings and panels. One of the most important one is connected with space.
The space technology sector is now a very important part of the global economy. Television, global phone calls and weather forecasts are examples of activities enabled by hundreds of satellites above the Earth.
One of the major economic foundations of the space industry is satellite navigation. It helps aircrafts approaching the runway to land in a designated corridor or farmers to effectively carry out work in their fields, and to save human lives faster and more efficiently in emergency situations.
Interaction with the space technology sector during the panel will be provided by special guests.
The business aspect of satellite navigation will be the subject of dedicated workshops that will take place during the conference.
During the workshops we will provide identification of business potential and opportunities for expansion into international market for innovative products and services based on the satellite navigation.
