But what does it actually take to build a functioning space ecosystem? Through the RISA Fund, RIIS worked alongside ecosystem actors in Kenya, Rwanda, and across the continent to strengthen coordination, build human capital, support entrepreneurs, and create pathways for long-term ecosystem development. This documentary captures the lessons, challenges, and opportunities that emerged from that journey. It explores how ecosystem development happens in practice, and why moving from strategy to implementation requires more than infrastructure, funding, or policy alone. #SpaceEconomy #AfricanInnovation #SpaceTech #InnovationEcosystems #RISA
