The Munich Space Summit merges two of Munich’s most recognized space events into one powerful platform: the Munich Satellite Navigation Summit and the Munich New Space Summit. The synergies between New Space and Satellite Navigation are clear. New Space brings a dynamic, innovation-driven perspective to the space sector, emphasizing private investment, start-ups, and new applications – from satellite systems and launch services to Earth observation. Satellite Navigation, an established field since the 1990s, offers a broad range of interfaces that seamlessly connect with these developments. Together, they create a strong foundation for collaboration and future innovation.
