ESA opens first permanent Asia office in Tokyo to boost space collaboration with Japan.
The European Space Agency has opened its first permanent office in Asia in Tokyo’s X-Nihonbashi Tower, marking a key expansion of its collaboration with Japan’s space sector.
The move, announced on October 28, 2025, during Nihonbashi Space Week, aims to strengthen ties with JAXA and Japan’s growing private space industry.
The office will support joint missions in Earth observation, planetary defense, and space science, building on decades of cooperation including projects like BepiColombo and Hera.
It mirrors ESA’s Washington office model, fostering engagement across government, academia, and industry.
The development follows a 2024 joint statement on future collaboration in low Earth orbit and sustainable space use.
