what happened

LMT Group and Novaspace signed a cooperation agreement at ESA's Industry Space Days 2026 in Noordwijk to develop a concept for a telecommunications innovation platform linking Latvia's connectivity sector to the international satellite industry, per a Novaspace release carried by SpaceNews. The agreement runs under the EU-funded FIERCE Ecosystem Building Programme, with LMT acting as an innovation intermediary and Novaspace providing space-market strategic support; no budget figure was stated.

why it matters

The deal is a strategy study, not a built hub or a funding commitment, but it extends ESA's 5G/6G Non-Terrestrial Network Hub model to a new member state and gives LMT, a telecom operator already piloting dual-mode satellite IoT connectivity with ESA and Sateliot, a formal path toward deeper satellite-industry integration.
