Post Event Testimonials

"A great event in the beautiful town of Bodø. A memorable first night at the Aviation Museum for our panel discussion and then a packed day with 25 great space tech companies presenting to the jury panels. An event that won’t be forgotten!"

Paul Gillespie, Managing Partner – Sheffield Haworth

"Tech Tour Space is not just another pitching event. It is the place where you meet all the relevant stakeholders in a private environment which allows you to build lasting business relationships. Beyond that it gives you an exclusive access to sites which are typically not accessible at all like the new space port in Andøya. All in all, it is an enriching event format best suited all who really care about the long-term prospects of the new space ecosystem."

In addition, I appreciated the opportunity to attend other events in Bodø during the same week."
