The development of the aerospace industry in Italy seems to be taking center stage, particularly in the city of Turin and Piedmont. The opening of the vertical accelerator Takeoff<\/a><\/strong> and the incubator ESA Bic Turin<\/strong><\/a> by the European Space Agency in the Piedmontese capital seems to be just the first step in this direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Angelo Cavallo, director of Milan Polytechnic's Space Economy Observatory, Italy has great potential in the space economy sector and could become self-sufficient.<\/strong> This would represent a second opportunity for Italy, after it missed the opportunity in the digital sector. Turin and Piedmont could be the hub of this development<\/strong>thanks to the presence of many prominent aerospace companies, such as Thales Alenia Space<\/strong>, which works with NASA and ESA, and Argotec<\/a><\/strong>, which developed the ArgoMoon microsatellite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thales Alenia Space recently signed a contract with the Italian Space Agency to develop Space Factory 4.0, a system of interconnected space factories in Italy that will be operational by 2026<\/strong>. The consortium will implement automation and process digitization systems to build advanced satellites, particularly in the micro and small satellite sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Space Factory will offer the specific means and tools to produce advanced satellites in a wide range of sizes, from large satellite infrastructures of a few hundred kilograms to satellites of a few tens of kilograms<\/strong>Space Factory 4.0 realities will be located in several Italian regions, including Piedmont with Argotec<\/strong>, the Lazio region with Thales Alenia Space<\/strong>, the Campania region with Cira<\/strong>, the Puglia<\/strong> and the Tuscany regions with Sitael<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thales Alenia Space is also a partner in ESA Bic Turin<\/strong> along with other major companies, and together they have already incubated 15 industry startups from around the world<\/strong>. ESA Bic Turin is an incubation program with the aim of promoting the development of an attractive local ecosystem for the growing space entrepreneurship<\/strong> and for the actors that revolve around it. Politecnico di Torino is committed to supporting the technological development of these companies to increase their opportunities for growth and market establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The city and region's commitment to the growth, promotion and development of the aerospace industry.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":10562,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[338,297,227,315,292],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
