EU Space Companies: 12 Days Left to Shape Tomorrow’s Skills!

Published on 3 February 2026

Time is running out for EU space companies to have their say on the skills the sector needs for the future! The SpaceVantage EU Survey closes on 15 February 2026, giving organisations just 12 days to share their insights.

The survey targets companies working in Earth Observation, SatCom, GNSS, and integrated space applications. It’s quick (10–15 minutes) and helps identify:

• Skills gaps: AI/ML, green skills, systems engineering… what’s missing?
• Recruitment hurdles: experience mismatch, digital skills shortages.
• Training needs: what kind of education would help your team most?
• Future skills: emerging areas like quantum tech and edge computing.

By participating, companies can directly influence EU training programs and curricula, ensuring that the space workforce of tomorrow is ready for the challenges of today.

Take the survey now and help shape the future of Europe’s downstream space sector.

Don’t wait – every response counts! 

Make sure your company’s voice is heard before the 15 February deadline.
