Invested by Europe: Why Space is the Backbone of Europe’s Economy

Space is often associated with rockets and missions to the Moon.
But space technology underpins many of the services we rely on
every day — from navigation and weather forecasting to
communications, agriculture and secure financial transactions.


In this episode of Invested by Europe, Pierre Limouzin, senior
investment officer at the European Investment Bank, explains why
space has become a strategic sector for Europe’s economy and
security. He discusses how falling launch costs and new
technologies have transformed the industry, what makes investing
in space different from other tech sectors, and why strengthening
Europe’s space ecosystem is essential for competitiveness and
sovereignty.


We also explore how satellite manufacturing is changing, the
dual‑use nature of space technologies, and how space data could
shape daily life in the years to come — from Earth observation to
more futuristic applications such as manufacturing and healthcare
research that’s carried out in space.


Invested by Europe explores the forces shaping the European
economy. In each episode, we hear from experts working on some of
Europe’s most important long‑term challenges — and how investment
is helping turn innovation into impact.
