In Côte d'Ivoire, the Conference on the Space Industry closed on Friday 28 April. This is the second time that the African Union has organized a conference of this magnitude.
Nearly 300 scientists, industrialists and decision-makers in this field met this week to pool projects. As more countries invest in space, they face an obstacle namely the lack of skilled labour. However, there are young enthusiasts, like Marie Korsaga, a young Burkinabe astrophysicist whom RFI met.
