Milan will be the centre of the space industry universe when 6,000 delegates land in the city for the 75th edition of the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) 2024.
The announcement was made by the host committee: the Italian Space Agency, the Italian Aeronautics and Astronautics Association and Leonardo, and the Italian aerospace industry leader.
The hosts have pledged to make the event - tagline Responsible Space for Sustainability - as inclusive and diverse as possible to reflect the importance of space exploration for all humanity.
Milan’s candidacy was strongly supported by the Italian Government through the Inter-ministerial Committee for Space and Aerospace and the local institutions. Congress organiser AIM Group International also took part in the bid.
"We are extremely proud to be part of this prestigious group which, representing the excellence in the Space sector and with the support of national and local institutions, has managed to bring to Italy and Milan an event with a worldwide resonance and significant scientific and economic impact” underlines Flaminia Roberti, Global Sales Director of AIM Group International.
“We will work to make the event effective and unforgettable by offering the opportunity to experience the best of the destination. Once again, our Country was able to demonstrate professionalism, creativity and reliability and confirm its great appeal for international conferences”.
Milan was selected over Budapest (Hungary), São Paulo (Brazil), Seville (Spain) and Adelaide (Australia by more than 400 delegates gathered in Dubai at the 72nd edition of the IAC.
