Four major aerospace forums converge in Turin, Italy, to encourage dialogue in the space industry

From December 1st to 4th, GMV participated in a unique gathering that brought together four events simultaneously: the 28th AIDAA Conference, the 10th CEAS Aerospace Europe Conference, the 9th Global Moon Village Workshop & Symposium, and the 10th Aerospace & Defense Meeting. These four events were held jointly at the Lingotto Congress Center in Turin, Italy, and GMV participated in a variety of activities, with the aim of promoting the sharing of knowledge and expanding the company’s involvement in the strategic discussions that will help define the future of the European and international space industry. These events also gave GMV a good opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to the younger generations, and to the sustainable and peaceful use of space.

GMV’s presence was led by Mariella Graziano, Manager of Flight Segment Strategy and Business Development in the company’s Space Systems EST sector, who took part in high-level activities as part of the 9th Global Moon Village Workshop & Symposium and the 10th CEAS Aerospace Europe Conference. Some highlights included her participation in the roundtable discussion organized by the association Women in Aerospace Europe, entitled “Women Trailblazers: Entrepreneurship in an Evolving Aerospace Ecosystem”. The focus in this case was on analyzing the role played by female leadership and entrepreneurship in evolution of the aerospace ecosystem. During this session she shared the stage with some international leaders from the space field, including Emeritus Professor Amalia Ercoli Finzi, Italy’s first female aerospace engineer, who is widely recognized for her efforts to expand visibility and opportunities for young talent, with a particular emphasis on women.

In addition, as part of the 9th Global Moon Village Workshop & Symposium, Ms. Graziano participated in the panel discussion entitled “Enabling Technologies for Lunar Exploration”, which addressed the key technologies that will allow progress towards sustainable lunar exploration and future development of infrastructure on the Moon’s surface. In this case, her participation helped to further solidify GMV’s position as a leading tech firm in the field of space exploration in general, and lunar exploration in particular.

In summary, this unique joint event created an outstanding meeting point for institutions, industry, universities, and research centers, which were able to share their advancements, identify new trends, and encourage collaborations that will drive innovation in the fields of aeronautics, space, defense, autonomous systems, and emerging technologies.
