SpaceUp Final Event

Join us for the final event of the European SpaceUp project. This EU funded project aims at assisting space start-ups in scaling up!

The conference will present the main project results to the wider public. The visibility of the 60 start-ups which participated in the Space Academies will be maximized thanks to a dedicated poster exhibition and hearing success stories, best practices and the lessons learned.

The event will provide policy recommendations and will reflect on the follow-up of the initiative, its integration into the broader European ecosystem of support for start-ups and the long-term sustainability. There will be plenty of opportunities for further networking between the start-ups, the project partners, investors, policy makers and EU and ESA officials.

Participation is free of charge, but registration is mandatory. Participants will have to present an EU Digital Covid Certificate at the entrance (see additional information below)
