NECT Fellow Hiroaki Miyoshi Discusses Society-Implemented Space Business

On January 14, 2026, a significant seminar will be hosted by the Japan Planning Institute (JPI), featuring Hiroaki Miyoshi, a Fellow from NEC, who specializes in aerospace. The presentation titled "The Entirety of Society-Implemented Space Business and Collaboration Strategies with Non-Space Industries" aims to shed light on the evolving landscape of space business and its implications for various sectors.

In a world where the interest in space continues to grow, it is essential not to treat outer space merely as the domain of the space industry.

The focus will be on how to expand the involvement of non-space sector users in order to foster economic growth and enhance national security through the proper utilization of space resources.
