PARTNERS & SPONSORS:

TICKETS

09:00 – 21:00, 4 DECEMBER, MESH YOUNGSTORGET, OSLO, NORWAY

Twelve hours of ideas, business, and inspiration

Spaceport Norway 2025: NEW gathers great people on and off stage, from space agencies, investors, technology companies, and research institutions.

Across three stages — Max Q, First stage, and Second stage — the programme moves from strategy to startups, connecting those shaping the future of space and those ready to join it.This year’s event takes place in a moment of major change for Europe’s space sector.

Just one week after ESA’s ministerial meeting (CM25) — expected to be the most important in years — Director General Christian Hauglie-Hanssen from the Norwegian Space Agency will open the day with a keynote offering fresh insight into what the outcomes mean for Norway and Europe.

In a clear sign that space is also becoming a domain for major investors, Audun Wickstrand Iversen from DNB Asset Management — one of the world’s highest-ranked equity funds — will share how global capital now views the space economy as a serious arena for growth.

From policy and investment to new technology, innovation, and ideas, the day captures a unique time of transition and opportunity — for Europe, for Norway, and for everyone ready to engage.

‍Join us in Oslo on 4 December — tickets are still available (limited capacity)
