"I strongly believe in new opportunities offer by digital commons and Data Spaces. We are working everyday with OKP4 teams to participate to build the Dataverse!"
"Space generates everyday unbelievable amounts of data which await being shared. The upcoming Data Spaces must be made aware of this gold mine. Innovators and startups need a sharing platform to try and test their new services and business models; where they can also find support to scale up and de-risk. In parallel, financiers and insurers need this place to meet innovators which path they may not cross otherwise. To me, this is what SpaceLinkers is all about."
"We are convinced that Space Cooperative Europe SCE is an ecosystem, where new ideas meet experience and good judgement, where innovation meets funding, where space applications are brought to the market, where connections are made, impact is realized, and where start-ups and established player alike can thrive."

"Investors and insurance firms that want a piece of the space domain pie need to understand what the ingredients are and how it is being made: technology readiness levels with realistic timelines, business cases that are commercially credible, financially sustainable, legally implementable. Value proposers must offer terms in language relevant to the financial community. SpaceLinkers Community Platform is instrumental to narrow that communication gap and effectively connect the parties to a deal."
"SpaceLinkers will help, connect and shape the European space industry. We from AQUATY and I personally are honored to be a part of the SpaceLinkers Community Platform and to contribute to such a forward-thinking project."
