It manages the EU's Space Programme, which includes initiatives like Galileo (satellite navigation), Copernicus (Earth observation), and EGNOS. The EC fosters innovation and competitiveness in the European space industry by providing funding and support to companies and research institutions. It works with partners such as the European Space Agency (ESA) and the EU Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) to ensure the program aligns with broader EU goals.
