Japan and France partnership in space: from institutional innovation to business applications

     The space affairs department of the French Embassy in Japan is pleased to invite you to the seminar organized in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry France – Japon (CCI France Japon) on June 30, 2022, at the Miraikan museum in Tokyo, to celebrate CNES 60 years anniversary and space cooperation between Japan and France.

Finally, a second panel discussion will gather leading academics who will present their research works and discuss the transition from universities to start-ups.
