| Event Name: | Rwanda Space Week Conference |
| Event Description: | The Rwanda Space Agency (RSA) is participating for the first time in the global celebration of World Space Week, an annual event occurring from October 4th to 10th. This commemoration honors significant milestones in space history and applauds innovations within the space sector. The event underscores the importance of peaceful space endeavors and international cooperation. The timing of this international Space Week aligns with two pivotal events: the inaugural launch of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union on October 4th, 1957, and the signing of the Outer Space Treaty (OST) on October 10th, 1967. These moments mark the initiation of the space age and the establishment of principles for responsible space utilization and collaboration. The agency plans a nationwide tour to educate and raise awareness about its vision, mission, services, products, and aspirations leading up to the Space Week Conference. This year's theme, "Space and Entrepreneurship," will guide RSA's 5-week nationwide awareness campaign as well as the conference from October 9 to 10, 2023. The event will bring together a diverse range of participants, including government officials, industry leaders, young innovators, students, and the general public. Through this gathering, RSA will celebrate the progress of space technologies for social and economic advancement. The agency will also promote networking and foster entrepreneurial opportunities in Rwanda. |
