Arizona Tribune - Space Tech Expo Europe Celebrates 10-Year Journey

"Our 10 years in Bremen have brought together the European space community in ways we could barely have imagined," says Gordon McHattie, Event Director, Space Tech Expo. "We launched in 2015 with 100 exhibitors and have now grown to over 950 exhibiting companies from over 45 countries represented in 2025. This marks the largest number of exhibiting companies ever gathered for a space event, reflecting the extraordinary recent and future growth of the global space industry. We are thrilled to be welcoming the global space community back this year, as the event continues to be a vital platform for connecting industry leaders, fostering partnerships, and showcasing the latest advancements in space technology."

As Europe's premier gathering for space engineering and technology, Space Tech Expo Europe provides an unparalleled platform for industry professionals, researchers, and policymakers to connect, explore cutting-edge developments and establish strategic partnerships across the entire space supply chain. The global space technology market size was estimated at USD $466.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD $769.7 billion by 2030. The continued growth in the sector is furthered by government and private sector investments across key areas such as satellite communications, earth observation, space tourism and interplanetary exploration. Space Tech Expo Europe showcases innovations in launch services, satellite operations, ground systems, software, components, and dual-use technologies, making it the ultimate destination for space manufacturing and testing services, systems engineering for spacecraft, launchers, and satellite programs.

Comprehensive Program Features

The 2025 edition offers an extensive program designed to meet the diverse needs of the space community including four specialised conferences. Space Tech Expo Europe breaks new ground this year with the expansion of strategic security and defense programming, reflecting the perception of space as critical infrastructure for multiple domains. Leading the discussion on these critical topics are distinguished speakers including, Dr. Marcus Pleyer, State Secretary, Germany's Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space; David Meigne, Major, French Space Command; Robert de Groot, Vice-President, European Investment Bank (EIB).
