Did you know? Africa has its own Space Agency.

Dr. Tidiane Ouattara is one of the key architects of this mission - a visionary who connects space technology, development, security, sovereignty and humanity.

In this conversation we talk about:

- Why Africa is moving strategically into space

– How satellites solve real problems: agriculture, climate data, infrastructure, security

– The geopolitical role of Africa in a shifting global world

– How Europe and Africa can collaborate with respect and clarity

– Why cultural understanding is essential for innovation

– The human perspective of a continent often misunderstood

It is an inspiring, deep and at moments emotional conversation that challenges European assumptions and opens new horizons.

A must-listen. You won’t find this perspective anywhere else.
