Vision
In2Space aims to bring together government bodies, private organizations, and SMEs working in application areas to explore innovative solutions to the challenges they face, with support from experts across both the public and private sectors.
Satellite-based application and innovation providers will have the opportunity to showcase their new projects and products, as well as gain first-hand knowledge from end users at the conference about their needs and how they can be addressed.
In2Space aims to empower decision-makers from regional government entities with a vested interest in developing the space sector. This includes space agencies, technology providers, and application developers. The conference will serve as a platform to discuss how to build a sustainable and economically viable regional space ecosystem — one that attracts established international companies and fosters the growth of innovative startups.
Why In2Space?
In2space is a forum for showcasing the latest innovations in the space sector relating to satellite payload instrumentation and all kinds of terrestrial applications designed to support Earth’s sustainability and security. The forum is also a platform for discussing challenges for space programmes such as funding and investments, space policy, regulations and law with a focus on how to ensure that space can continue to be used for the benefit of all humanity.
In2space attendees will have the opportunity to join panel discussions and debates that will include a large gathering of government and the private sector professionals including policy and decision-makers, who benefit from space data and services, such as environmental agencies (water resource management and air pollution), municipalities (e.g. urban planning), agriculture (crop management), insurance (risk assessment and impact of damage), maritime agencies (monitoring illegal fishing activities and piracy), and security (monitoring critical assets such as oil and gas).
In2space is a unique Space event where both Space sector service providers and end users can work together in dedicated workshops to identify gaps in space-based services and come up with recommendations for how to fill these gaps.
Why In2Space?
The conference, though focusing on innovation, will not discuss the technology in itself; rather, it will focus on how latest satellite and space technology can drive innovative products and services that could serve and benefit the users.

Host working group (WP) and science advisory group (SAG) meetings for ongoing as well as projects in the planning stage with the aim of generating recommendations and declarations at the end of these meetings that can be presented to and socialise with government and private sector decision and policy makers.
While technical experts are involved, debates and discussion will look into how to encourage cooperation both locally and across boarders that could maximise the utilisation of existing space capacities and expertise, while planning for new facilities and projects. The aim is to demonstrate how such cooperation could provide socioeconomic benefits to all parties involved, especially if that lead to reducing or sharing burden of funding.
Therefore, the conference will be to all government and the private sector professionals including policy and decision-makers across the globe whose expertise may not directly be concerned with satellite technology and the data they generate but instead their interest is to access the end user services and data products that will enable them to make informed decisions in their field of expertise, such as environmental agencies (water resource management and air pollution), municipalities (e.g. urban planning), agriculture (crop management), insurance (risk assessment and impact of damage), maritime agencies (monitoring illegal fishing activities and piracy), and security (monitoring critical assets such as oil and gas).
