ESA is leading the way in a bunch of space stuff - we're not great at launchers, but the stuff we send up is top-notch.

There's Euclid, which maps out the visible sky in insane detail [0]

There's Galileo, which provides much higher accuracy than GPS. (20cm vs 5m!)

And then there's Copernicus, which provides open-access Earth Observation as a public good.

Very ironic name for a group of satellites orbiting the earth.
