On Azerbaijan’s part, the agreement was signed by AZERCOSMOS Space Agency, a member and signatory of Intersputnik. Several countries competed for the right to host the Congress – one of the largest industry events of the year, which traditionally brings together the heads of national space agencies, leading suppliers of space systems and technologies, and the most famous space scientists and practitioners. The victory was won by hospitable Baku, which is ready to host several thousand delegates from all over the world in the modern Heydar Aliyev Center. The main topic of the upcoming Congress is “Global Challenges and Opportunities: Give Space A Chance”.
