Team Blitz India
NEW DELHI: The excitement around space in India is attracting talent from around the world and is turning the country into a role model for space nations, Sebastian Buckup, member, Executive Committee, World Economic Forum (WEF) said.
The Centre for Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR), a platform of the WEF, launched the space technology programme in India to forge global collaborations among various stakeholders as the private space sector takes wings in the country.
“India is seen as a role model, a lighthouse for smaller, aspiring space nations, which also look to India for support. This is something the WEF would like to facilitate, an exchange between large and emerging space nations in the interest of growing the space sector overall in an inclusive and responsible manner,” Buckup told PTI in an interview.
He said there was immense interest among entrepreneurs keen on leveraging the space sector.
