Organized by Novaspace and supported by Space Business Catalyst by Thales Alenia Space, WSBW Startup Challenge is a startup pitch competition dedicated to space tech organizations. The purpose of this initiative is to promote promising companies within the industry through pitches presented during the Space Innovation Summit at World Space Business Week. The challenge offers more than an award; it provides a unique opportunity to gain exposure in the industry, engage in discussions, network, and explore potential future partnerships.
Submissions will undergo evaluation by a distinguished international jury of space sector experts. Following this rigorous process, six startups will be selected to pitch their companies in front of leaders and decision-makers within the global space sector. This opportunity will take place on September 17, during the 2025 edition of the Space Innovation Summit, part of the World Space Business Week, scheduled for September 15-19, 2025, in Paris and online.
