Italy Pavilion to host Leonardo #T-TeC Space contest

As part of Italy Pavilion’s education events, Italy-headquartered aerospace company Leonardo, together with its joint venture Telespazio, is bringing to Expo 2020 Dubai an important appointment for participants. For those curious about the #T-TeC contest, this is an open innovation activity dedicated to all students and researchers from universities and research departments all over the world – this year at its third edition – aimed to valorise the ideas and intuition of young people, promoting development and technological innovation in the space sector and imagining the technologies that will mark the near future.

“Developing new space technologies allows us to better understand the changes taking place on our own planet, and contribute to a sustainable development”, explained Luigi Pasquali, coordinator of Leonardo space activities and CEO of Telespazio. “Innovating in space technology means investing in sustainability, but it is also true that innovation needs to be addressed to sustainability in space, to avoid over-crowded orbits that could put at risk satellite services our lives rely on” he added.
