Where Decision Makers Do Business

For nearly three decades, the World Space Business Week (WSBW) has been a trusted C-level gathering for space and satellite business leaders. Designed for influential, forward‑thinking executives shaping the market, WSBW offers a space to exchange perspectives, navigate strategic challenges, spark innovation, and turn conversations into business.

Hosted annually in Paris, WSBW brings together investors, operators, manufacturers, service providers, government stakeholders, and emerging disruptors under the same roof. It facilitates exchanges and deal-making for decision-makers from all over the world and the entire ecosystem, solidifying its position as an indispensable industry event for 29 years and counting.

WSBW comprises two complementary summits that can be attended independently or as a full-week experience: the Summit for Satellite Financing (SSF) and the Summit on Earth Observation Business (SEOB). A shared Wednesday program bridges both communities, aligning investment, infrastructure, and market demand.

Summit for Satellite Financing (SSF)

SSF connects satellite operators, manufacturers, investors, and institutional stakeholders around the financial and industrial priorities shaping the global space market including manufacturing at scale, operator ambitions, next-generation ground systems, connectivity, cloud-driven architectures and mobility-enabled services. A joint Wednesday program with SEOB expands the lens to NewSpace and smallsat business models including launch strategies, optical data highways, production at scale, sovereign capabilities and the evolving competitive landscape.

Summit on Earth Observation Business (SEOB)

SEOB convenes leaders in remote sensing technologies and constellations (optical and SAR), ground segment innovation (including GSaaS), as well as the platforms transforming data into actionable intelligence. Discussions focus on the commercial and strategic dynamics accelerating EO adoption including AI-enabled analytics, cloud delivery models, trusted data pipelines, and the requirements of high-impact vertical markets such as climate, maritime, agriculture, and beyond. A joint Wednesday program with SSF connects EO priorities with NewSpace economics, launch capacity, industrial scaling, and sovereignty drivers.
