Our 13th Partner Club Day!
The #FVA brought together 20 national companies from the #space sector, and patrons of the Foundation, on the sidelines of the Euro-Africa Biennial in #Montpellier, to highlight the strong links between Africa and France in the field of space and youth training.
The Foundation’s patrons enjoyed an exceptional day alongside French astronauts Dr. Claudie HAIGNERÉ, patron of the FVA and former minister, and Michel Tognini, vice-president of the FVA, as well as several ministerial delegations and African partners of the #CSUM.
This 13th day dedicated to members of the FVA Partners Club was held after the success of the first two programs supported by the Montpellier University Space Center (CSUM) in the Republic of Djibouti and the Republic of Senegal.
The Van Allen Foundation, a true catalyst for bringing together various French companies
around the CSUM’s #nanospace activities, took advantage of the event to induct four new companies into its Partners Club:
