On 23 November, Frontex is organising its next Industry Days. This time, the event will be dedicated to the use of space-based technologies for secure asset management.

Space capabilities can provide fast, continuous, reliable, and globally available services for situational awareness. Frontex is inviting industry to share the latest technological developments and innovative space-based solutions that could be used for efficient border management.

The upcoming event will be an opportunity to present the latest advancements and innovations in the following areas:

Frontex, together with Member States, ensures safe and well-functioning external borders and Frontex is enhancing the use of innovative technologies at the borders to better handle security issues. In this context, space systems can provide unique solutions, essential to providing a response to a variety of security challenges.
