Space Tech Expo Europe, the B2B space industry event, returns to Bremen, Germany, from November 18 - 20, 2025, bringing together over 950 exhibitors and more than 10,000 attendees at the MESSE Bremen. This year marks a milestone for the event as it celebrates its 10th anniversary – ten years of pioneering space technology excellence in Bremen, a hub for the German and European aerospace industries. Highlighting exhibitors including Fraunhofer Aviation & Space, Glenair, ZARM, Luxembourg Space Agency, Tesat Spacecom, and OHB SE, who have all been present at every edition.

“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.”

Space Tech Expo Europe serves as an unparalleled platform for the supply chain, operating within a market projected to reach $769.7 billion by 2030. Fuelled by investments in satellite communications and exploration, the event showcases innovations across launch services, ground systems, and dual-use technologies. It remains the ultimate destination for professionals in space manufacturing, testing, and systems engineering to connect and establish strategic partnerships.

The 2025 edition expands its programme with four specialised conferences, breaking new ground in strategic security and defense to address space as critical infrastructure. Leading the discussion are distinguished speakers Dr. Marcus Pleyer (Germany's Federal Ministry of Research), Major David Meigne (French Space Command), and Robert de Groot (European Investment Bank).

Four Specialised Conferences

• Industry Conference: Offers vital insights into the latest developments and trends within the European (and beyond) space sector, guiding the future of the thriving industry.
• Smallsats Conference: Unites pivotal stakeholders from satellite operations, ground segment operators, service providers, and mobility end-user markets, encompassing sectors such as aviation and maritime industries.
• Connectivity Conference: Focuses on advancing small satellite capabilities, data analysis, security, small launch, and how to attract new, non-space sectors to enhance Earth applications. The conference also covers the topics of Earth observation optimisation and business scaling.
• Technology Forum: Leading companies in the industry unveil top-tier solutions and showcase their latest projects to a focused audience.

A key addition for 2025 is the Skills Lab, a dedicated stream offering masterclasses and workshops to improve industry skills. Due to the event’s growth, the floor plan now extends to the Upper Deck (Hall 4.1), which features an arcade zone and a 360-video booth for social media sharing.
