The Tech Needs Discovery event series is a unique concept connecting space innovators with non-space companies to explore technology needs and solutions through direct interaction and matchmaking. The third edition will take place on 25 September 2025 from 1–6 pm at SBIC Noordwijk.
The theme of this event is Industry Challenges. It will focus on curating cross-industry connections to enable key technology transfers, showcasing the value of interacting with the space sector. Through engaging discussions, the different technology needs will be presented to an audience of innovators and solution providers, followed by matchmaking sessions.
For this edition, we are raising the stakes to their highest level yet! We want to look not just at company challenges but at industry-level ones. There will be panel discussions on-stage with stakeholders from different industries, including AgriFood, Energy, High Tech and Logistics, facilitated by the ESA Technology Broker. An audience of space innovators will have the opportunity to be inspired by these challenges and explore how can we, as a sector, create cross-industry impact and value.
