DESCRIPTION:Over the past five years\, the Government of Catalonia has made
  a firm and sustained commitment to developing a competitive and innovatio
 n‑driven space sector. This effort has combined Catalonia’s strong cap
 abilities in digital technologies\, scientific research and industrial eng
 ineering with coordinated collaboration across public institutions\, unive
 rsities\, research centres and private companies.\nAs part of this initiat
 ive\, several small satellite missions for communications and Earth observ
 ation\, such as the GENIOT and GENEO series\, have been deployed with supp
 orting ground infrastructure and data platforms. Initially conceived as te
 chnology demonstrators\, these missions have enabled the validation of ope
 rational capabilities and the development of innovative services in areas 
 such as disaster risk management\, environmental monitoring and territoria
 l management among others.\nThis talk presents the role of small satellite
 s in enabling innovative use cases highlighting the supporting infrastruct
 ure\, service adoption and future developments under the Catalonia Space 2
 030 Strategy\, approved in November 2025\, which foresees the deployment o
 f eight satellite missions by 2030 focused on Earth observation and advanc
 ed communications and resilience‑oriented applications.
