The 2nd Meeting of Leaders of Space Agencies Members of the Italo-Latin American International Organization (II Meeting IILA) will be held within the SpaceBR Show 2023, the main event of the space sector in Latin America, at the Frei Caneca Convention Center, in São Paulo.
The second edition, organized by the Italo-Latin American International Organization (IILA) and the Brazilian Space Agency (AEB), has as its theme “Strengthening Regional Integration and Sustainable Development in Space Activities” and will benefit from the business environment of the SpaceBR Show to add more value to both events and thus contribute to integrating the space sectors of the region and Italy.
