European Satellite Navigation Competition

Since then, the competition has transformed into an international network that embodies innovation and expertise with the support of the most relevant stakeholders in the field, such as the European GNSS Agency (GSA), the European Space Agency (ESA), and the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
