The space sector in Finland is currently growing faster than ever. This year alone, Finnish space companies have launched more than 10 new satellites and announced investments worth hundreds of millions of euros into the sector.
Behind this rapid development is a strong network of supporting organisations and various programmes that have helped startups and new innovations mature and reach the right target audiences.
In this morning session, you'll have the chance to meet three organisations – ESA BIC Finland, ESA Phi-Lab Finland and Location Innovation Hub – that are currently supporting space and geospatial startups and businesses in Finland. You'll also gain insights into the types of space and geospatial funding currently available to help launch the next great idea into orbit.
Coffee will be served from 8:30, and the programme begins at 9:15.
7+ years of space startup incubation in Finland
