1 Week. 3 Summits. Endless Opportunities.

Since 1997, the World Space Business Week (WSBW) has been the reference business meeting place for the global space community. To further expand business opportunities for our participants, we have created two purpose-built events held alongside WSBW: the Space Defense & Security Summit (SDSS) and the Space Innovation Summit (SPIN). Together, these three complementary gatherings create a unique synergy in Paris, connecting commercial decision-makers with the fast-growing priorities of defense, security, and innovation.
