HATCH was presented at the Switch to Space event in Brussels

SWITCH to SPACE, organised by YouSpace in Belgium, is an event dedicated to people: young professionals and students who are considering building a career in the space sector.

The event was hosted in the prestigious Egmont Palace in Brussels, Belgium. There were more than 50 speakers, including professionals from leading space organisations and private companies in Belgium as well as Frank de Winne, the first Belgian astronaut, and Didier Reynders, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs.

HATCH was also presented at the event. Linda Kimeisa of WIT Berry gave a presentation on the future web portal, explaining to students and professionals how HATCH could become their favourite new tool in building their career in space and meeting business goals.

Participants were very interested in the portal. Many organisations also expressed interest in collaboration.
