On the 10th local time, the first International Space Summit came to an end in Paris, France. European Commission President von der Leyen said in Paris on the same day that the EU has proposed updated corporate merger guidelines to support European aerospace industry giants to join forces to create space joint ventures. She emphasized that European companies need to have a certain size to invest and compete on a global scale. Airbus Europe, France's Thales Group, and Italy's Leonardo currently hope to expand the scale by integrating satellite-related businesses, enhance the global competitiveness of the European space industry, and challenge the Starlink satellite Internet service under the American Space Exploration Technology Company. However, due to some overlap between the three companies in related business areas, the deal may face EU antitrust scrutiny, and may require the divestment of part of the business or assets to be approved.
