Tech Tour Space 2026 took place on 10–11 September 2026 in Bodø, Norway, bringing together 28 selected companies, over 30 seasoned investors and facilitating more than 60 One2One meetings.
The event showcased some of Europe’s most promising pioneers and disruptors developing space and space-enabled technologies across a broad spectrum of applications: photonics and advanced materials, connectivity and sensing, and orbital infrastructure and power, to propulsion and launch, Earth observation and space-enabled applications, and space safety, security and autonomy.
Six companies were recognised as Top Presenters for their outstanding presentations and innovative technologies shaping the future of the European space sector.
Top Presenting Companies
Astrolight develops laser communication terminals and optical ground stations for high-speed satellite and terrestrial connectivity. Its systems enable secure, jam-resistant, multi-gigabit data transfer for applications including Earth observation, defence and next-generation satellite communications.
