3 Workshops and a Hackathon: Eurisy at HEMUS 2024 showcasing space for safety and sustainability in Plovdiv, Bulgaria

HEMUS 2024: Research and Innovation for Security, Defence and Space, the largest annual defence exhibition in the Balkans, took place this year within two main contexts. On the one hand, geopolitical relations trend toward tension, and climate change continues to exert a growing toll on societies, culminating in new and increasing risks to society. On the other hand, a growing national technological sector stimulated by national and international initiatives has built the foundations of a range of capabilities ready to provide safety and security to Bulgaria, and the wider EU. Gathered in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, a city with nearly 3,000 years of history still on display among its streets, a range of stakeholders, from policy experts, armed forces, space companies, and user communities, discussed how to ensure a safe and resilient future for the rapidly modernising country. Within these contexts, Eurisy supported three side events during HEMSUS 2024, “Space for Security and Defence”, “Satellite-based Services for Disaster Risk Management”, and “Space for Sustainable Future”.
