Europe is consolidating itself as one of the most advanced and strategic poles in the aerospace sector, led by the European Space Agency (ESA) and major consortia such as Airbus, ArianeGroup, and Thales Alenia Space. The continent excels in key areas such as satellites, navigation (Galileo), Earth observation (Copernicus), launchers (Ariane, Vega), and scientific missions, thanks to a combination of public investment, international cooperation, and a highly competitive industry. Spain plays a prominent role within this ecosystem, actively participating in ESA programs and developing a robust industry in manufacturing, engineering, and satellite services. Companies like Airbus Spain, GMV, Indra, and Sener lead reference projects. Since 2023, the Spanish Space Agency (AEE) has strengthened national coordination, promoted New Space, and fostered collaboration between startups and dual applications, both civilian and defense. In this context, the Canary Islands position themselves as a unique enclave due to their location, atmospheric conditions, and scientific infrastructures. The archipelago hosts internationally prestigious centers such as the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC), the Canary Space Center, and the Teide and Roque de los Muchachos observatories. Fuerteventura, in particular, emerges as a reference in the use of drones and pseudo-satellites, with pioneering projects like Stratoport. The Canary Islands are advancing as a platform for aerospace testing, Earth observation, and blue-space economy (Plocan), benefiting from tax and regulatory advantages that favor innovation. Europe leads the strategy, Spain consolidates industrial capabilities, and the Canary Islands provide a key scientific and experimental environment for the future of the sector. We are at a crucial moment where Europe and Spain seek to ensure their technological autonomy and maintain their industrial capacity. Looking to the future is essential, but it is also important to value the path taken. The Canary Islands have been a reference in sky observation for decades. The IAC and the Teide and Roque de los Muchachos observatories have turned the archipelago into one of the world's great scientific windows. The Canary Space Center, in Maspalomas, is a historic facility that collaborated with NASA on the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs, and has recently become a key player in the Artemis II program. It currently operates alongside INTA and ESA in satellite tracking and international missions, participating in search and rescue systems and supporting civilian and defense operations. However, its potential for integration with the local ecosystem remains underutilized, and it is necessary to strengthen its ties with local companies and research institutions. The geostrategic position of the Canary Islands, along with their exceptional natural conditions, offers advantages for satellite operations, communications, mission tracking, and the deployment of new constellations. The stable climate and the vast airspace over the Atlantic facilitate experimentation and the development of new technologies. Gran Canaria aims to contribute to strengthening Spain's and Europe's aerospace policies, aligning with the Canary Aerospace Strategy. The Gran Canaria Cabildo supports the transformation of local strengths into business and research projects that promote talent and attract investment. Although the island was not selected as the headquarters of the Spanish Space Agency, it remains committed to the sector. Local talent and knowledge are fundamental: the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria offers a wide range of STEM programs and has established research institutes like IUMA, SIANI, IDETIC, and IOCAG, with around 250 researchers involved in aerospace projects. To activate the ecosystem, initiatives are being developed such as the construction of a laboratory and cleanroom center in collaboration with the ULPGC Technology Park, the creation of areas for tracking antennas and spaceports, the candidacy to host an incubator for the European Space Agency, and the construction of the Temisas station, which will feature cutting-edge technology for space and geodynamic observation. Additionally, the Canary Islands offer a very competitive tax environment, with deductions of up to 75% in R&D and the Canary Special Zone (ZEC), which allows operations with a reduced corporate tax rate of 4%. This is complemented by institutional stability, European legal security, port and airport logistics, business dynamism, and quality of life, positioning Gran Canaria as a preferred destination for aerospace investment. The Gran Canaria Cabildo will continue to promote alliances with the university, the private sector, and national and international institutions to consolidate the future of the aerospace sector on the island.
