Meet us in Berlin to talk about space technology

May, 4 – 8, 2025

Berlin in Space

The space sector in Berlin and Brandenburg is characterized by the small satellites segment - with continuous growth. The companies and research institutes in the German capital region develop and build subcomponents as well as complete small and nanosatellites with a variety of application technologies. These include propulsion technology, lightweight components, electronics, optics, laser systems, power supplies, measuring instruments, communications technology, sensors, simulation software, etc.

Berlin's small- and nanosatellite facilities are among the world's pioneers and have rapidly gained commercial importance in recent years. More than 70 companies and research institutes from the German capital region are active in the space sector and, with their diverse expertise and specializations, form a holistic, interdisciplinary center of competence for space technologies and applications.

Space operations place extremely high demands on technology. What's needed is the cooperation of highly specialized researchers and engineers from different fields. Berlin-Brandenburg offers optimal conditions for this.
The extensive research landscape and strong business clusters, particularly in the fields of ICT, photonics and aerospace, ensure that New Space companies can thrive in an optimal environment.
