For government representatives from different island nations, this conference is an opportunity to network with other islands that share similar issues in climate change, erosion, maritime security, illegal fishing, and explore potential applications of space technology and uses of space data to solve these problems. Space entrepreneurship, space education as well as building resilient communities and robust ecosystems are therefore key themes of SINC 2023.
The conference aims to foster networking opportunities between space companies and policy makers for equatorial opportunities, be that to build an ecosystem around strategic locations of islands, or to grow the blue ocean economy and even space tourism with launches from the equator. At SINC, Earth Observation organisations will be able to connect with the needs of the island communities and derive market-driven data products, discover investment opportunities and geoanalytics solutions.
"We are thrilled to host the 'Space for Island Nations' conference in the Maldives. It is our first space conference and it is about time to put islands on the map," said the Madin Maseeh, President of MSRO. "Island nations like the Maldives are particularly faced with the effects of climate change. With the Maldives' alluring natural environment we are sure that this conference location is ideal to witness the connection between space and nature, and experience the vulnerable beauty of our country."
During the four day programme the delegates can expect a diverse full-day conference programming and engaging evening receptions. Delegates will have the opportunity to mix with international attendees as well as local Maldivians to exchange on climate, space and environment policy. The conference will conclude on the fourth day with selected full-day remote site visits.
The conference will take place at Crossroads Maldives which boasts state-of-the-art conference facilities and a breathtaking view of the Indian Ocean, with easy access to the capital. Registration for the conference is open now for international delegates, local Maldivians and online participation. Interested attendees can visit the conference website to learn more about the event and register.

Iceland: Real estate market at crossroads
Housing prices will continue to rise over the coming years. The pace of these rises, however, will slow down considerably. High interest rates, tighter access to loans and a cooling labour market are the factors that will reduce demand. Supply, on the other hand, seems to have peaked and is likely to diminish over the next years – which should help stabilise real estate prices. A turn-around is expected in…
