AGP Executive Report
Last update: 26 minutes agoSpace & Industry in French Guiana: PLD Space says it will invest €35m in its Guiana Space Centre launch complex in Kourou (2025–2026), with €22m staying in France and €13m earmarked for 20+ local firms in French Guiana, aiming to boost Europe’s sovereign orbital access. Regional Connectivity: LIAT Air and Air Caraïbes signed an interline agreement to let passengers book one ticket across the Caribbean and onward to Paris Orly, with through-checked luggage to cut connection friction for routes that include French Guiana. Trade & Ports Watch: France is pushing Guyana to fast-track a deepwater port, arguing it will unlock European trade—while local observers warn Guyana should scrutinize who benefits most, given the connectivity gap is also a cost driver for imports and exports. Aviation/Logistics Context: ESA and China’s SMILE magnetosphere mission launched from Kourou, but officials signaled parallel rather than deeper future cooperation despite shared scientific goals. Social & Legal Reckoning (France): France’s National Assembly voted unanimously to repeal the slavery-era Code Noir, a symbolic step after the law lingered on the books for nearly two centuries.
