SUN meets in Prague for the EUSPA 2022

Our programme is reaching its end, but we still have a lot to offer to build bridges between the space sector companies. This time, after a meeting at PODIM, in Slovenia, we headed off to Prague to participate in the European Space Week, hosted by EUSPA, and this time we reinforced our presence bringing our startups.

After almost two years of online meetings, thirteen of our startups embarked with us on this journey through space. A great experience to meet the teams in person, network during the event and promote the project.

SUNs startups and team networking dinner

Between plenaries, panel discussions about the current – and future – trends of the EU’s Space Programme and networking with policymakers, other startups, public authorities, investors and users, the participants of our programmes also had the chance to network with each other in a Space Hubs Network dinner where partners and startups built a tighter net.

Not only we had a great time meeting these amazing entrepreneurs but we also had the opportunity to participate in sessions at the event, and have our internal meeting where we discussed the future objectives of the programme and how we can continue to add value to our participants. Stay tuned for our future adventures, beyond the horizon!
