- learn about Tampere University commercialization support, regional startup pathways and space-related funding opportunities

- showcase and discover companies, research, projects and future experts in the networking and exhibition area
Whether you are already active in the space sector or are interested in how your technology, research or expertise could be applied in the space domain, the event offers a place to discover new connections and opportunities.
Join us at Tampere University for an inspiring afternoon of insights, discussions and networking, and help build new connections between space, research and business.
We look forward to seeing you in Tampere!
