Saying goodbye to people is never fun, but yesterday our Board of Directors did so to diplomats David Goebbels and Joren Kippers, who are leaving Japan after 4 years to return to Luxembourg and Belgium respectively. And we also said goodbye and thank you to Akiko Itoh who was a wonderful assistant for almost 2 years but will be leaving the BLCCJ at the end of July. We hope to introduce you soon to her successor.

Last week we have accomplished a very productive roadshow in Japan to promote the European Space Resources Innovation Centre (ESRIC) Start-up support programme. Under the coordination of the Luxembourg Trade and Investment Office - Tokyo （ルクセンブルク貿易投資事務所）we were able to reach relevant technology owners and partners through two meetup sessions hosted  at Venture Café Tokyo and @Moonpress by @Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun.  Theses events were ideal to showcase some of the companies forming the #SRU (Space Resource Utilisation) #Cluster (Astroport Space Technologies, Four Point, Lightigo s.r.o. , Lunar Outpost, Spacebackend) under the #ESRIC Start-up Support Programme and to exchange with Japanese partners on how to consolidate a global #B2B network of #commercial #SRU technology providers to address ambitious space missions with robust technologies and related project proposals.  Check the ESRIC SSP call for project and join the #SRU #cluster: https://lnkd.in/ezXmMWHF Yuriko Matsuno Naoya NAKAMARU Lari Cujko Sam Ximenes Marek Wilgucki Marek Rozehnal Dr. Edder R.
