Can Aalborg become a "Satellite Valley"?
Did you know that Aalborg was once known as "Mobilicom Valley"?
In the 1990s and up until the turn of the millennium, Aalborg played a significant role in the global mobile industry, helping to transform Aalborg's identity.
From "the city with the smoking chimneys" to the knowledge and cultural city we know today.
Although much has changed since the 90s, "Mobilicom Valley" laid the foundation for Aalborg's leading position in several areas, including satellite technology.
Today, Aalborg is home to some of the world's leading space and satellite companies, and Aalborg technology is onboard with some of the largest space companies in the world.
The Importance of the University
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of Aalborg University for Northern Denmark – including in the field of space exploration.
Aalborg University plays a central role in research and development in European space technology. We have some of the sharpest minds in space research, and AAU has testing facilities like the Antenna Laboratory, which, as the only one of its kind, can simulate an infinitely large space that is enclosed and radio-dead.
A Danish Satellite Valley
Aalborg is already standing on strong pillars in areas such as green energy and health sciences, but with so many skilled companies and groundbreaking research, Aalborg's identity may need to shift towards the stars.
The level of activity in space exploration is increasing significantly on a global scale. There is a desire to send humans to the Moon, to Mars, and to asteroids. This could potentially lead to the full colonization of space.
In Aalborg, we have been part of the new space economy from the beginning. The significance of this development for the coming decades is so great that we must make an extraordinary effort to ensure continued growth in the space industry in Aalborg.
