About us
Launched by Seville City Council in 2018 to boost the city’s involvement in ‘World Space Week’—in which Seville had already been participating since 2016— the Space Forum was established as a public-private governance model with a supra-local focus, committed to strengthening the space sector through communication, outreach and education.
The Space Forum has established itself as a space for collaboration, dialogue and shared strategy based on trust, generosity and the voluntary participation of the more than 50 organisations that make it up, including public administrations, research centres, universities, associations, major companies in the sector and start-ups.
SEVILLE Spain's Space Capital
Seville is consolidating its position as one of the world’s leading aerospace hubs by integrating the space sector as a key driver of its economy. Against this backdrop, Seville City Council is championing the ‘Seville Spanish Space Capital’ initiative, with the goal of solidifying the city’s standing as a leader in space sector research, development, and innovation. This initiative is coordinated through the Seville Space Forum, a platform that brings together over 50 sector entities, and is reinforced by Seville’s membership of the Ariane Cities Community (ACC), a network integrating the leading European cities in the space sector.
