The European Space Agency (ESA) has recently released their "Technology 2040 Vision" document (18 June 2025).

The Technology Vision 2040 outlines the critical technologies that will provide strategic autonomy in space through the use of advanced materials and manufacturing, resilient infrastructure technologies, artificial intelligence, and more.

The Technology 2040 Vision highlights five areas of innovation:

1. Planetary and Celestial Body Exploration
2. A Technology Revolution on Earth for Space
3. Near Earth and Deep Space Travel and Communication
4. Sustainable Space
5. Focus Technologies

Each of these areas of innovation contains a series of 'visions' that push towards the ESA's goals of leading innovation and sustainability in the space sector and supports the ESA Strategy 2040.
