“The 2023 Better Satellite World Awards reinforce that satellites bring hope, truth and a promising future to society. You can go anywhere on the planet and note that the satellite industry plays a role, both visible and behind the scenes, to make things better for people. In 2023, our committee identified as most worthy the accelerated efforts to bring connectivity to communities that will keep cultures and local economies stable and prepare them for the future. The committee also awarded the industry’s far-reaching technical ability to observe a war-ravaged theatre and validate information within the ‘fog of war.’ In addition, SSPI’s UK Chapter identified an executive who, in this complex world, has a unique ability to solve problems and design strategies to scale his company and our industry to new heights. This is all ‘business as usual’ for the global satellite community!” — Louis Zacharilla, Director of Innovation, SSPI
The Better Satellite World Awards Dinner, a festive networking event and dinner will be held at Whitehall Place on 4 December and is produced by SSPI and its UK Chapter. The UK Chapter is chaired by Betty Azzarelli, CEO and Founder, AB5 Consulting.
