And so from a success angle, post-conference, what does that look like for Kenya's space sector and even broadly Africa's space sector out of this conference? What are we looking at from your perspective in terms of success?

Hillary KipkosgeyGUEST
Yeah, I think what came out very strongly is that yes, data matters, but also everything that enables that data to be available also matters.

Hillary KipkosgeyGUEST
So if you are talking of sensors, whether they be space-based or earth-based, investment in those sources of data so that you are able to get credible information that you will use.

Hillary KipkosgeyGUEST
Second area is investments in how you process that data to be able to draw the necessary insights.

Hillary KipkosgeyGUEST
And of course also the infrastructure that you would require to be able to make that information or intelligence available for decision making.

Do you think we have the capacity and the potential to do moonshot projects? And if we do, what does the collective agenda or the pathway towards that look like, towards having one Africa that's collectively and actively contributing towards upstream and downstream space value chain?
