The Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Space Industry Practices: Closing the Gap Between Sector Needs and Educational Offers for a More Competitive European Space Workforce — or simply the ESG Space Industry Practices Book produced by AZO and published in January 2026 — gives hints to understand the evolving journey of ESG practices in the European space industry. It explores how its implementation and companies’ behaviour towards these practices are being understood, tested, and integrated into the sector, while also highlighting their direct impact on shaping the future workforce. Rather than serving as a technical manual or corporate showcase, the book functions as a collective reflection, an inspiration, and a learning tool designed to bridge the gap between industry, academia, and EU policymakers.

With ENLIGHTEN we are developing new technologies to reduce costs of access to space, while increasing competitiveness of current and future Space Transportation Systems in Europe until summer 2026.
Experience future space transportation – built using advanced additive manufacturing and artificial intelligence technologies.
ED stands for Engine Demonstration. This means that the technologies developed in the frame of ENLIGHTEN project will be matured and improved, while both processes and subsystems will reach TRL7. The ambitious objective is to demonstrate these technologies by subsystems and engine on-ground demonstration tests until end of 2027.
