Azerbaijan has achieved significant success in the field of wide application of modern technologies, digital development and the creation of a space industry. In the past years, thanks to comprehensive state support, a modern infrastructure for the space industry was created in the country, telecommunications satellites, which are an important component of information security, were launched into orbit, dependence on satellites of foreign states was eliminated, and the export of satellite services began. The existing satellite network, along with protecting the sovereignty of our country, also provides important support to its socio-economic development. Thanks to successful satellite projects, Azerbaijan, becoming a member of the global space family, has gained high prestige in the international space community.

As a manifestation of the experience gained in the field of space industry and satellite services, the emerging human capital and the image of a reliable partner, Azerbaijan won the right to host the International Astronautical Congress in 2023.
