The Space Week is a 9-day space festival in The Netherlands with various events on multiple locations including Noordwijk, Leiden and Delft. The full program will be announced soon. Subscribe to the newsletter to stay up-to-date.

Which events can I attend?

The full program for The Space Week '23 will be announced soon.

Depending on the organising party, you will see for whom every event is open when you click on any event in the programme. Some events are specifically for children, and some are specifically for investors or employees of the municipality. Don't worry, there is an event for everyone!

How do I get invited to (closed) events?

Every event has an organising party, which is indicated on the event page when you click on the one you are interested in. If you are interested to join a closed event that is on invite only, but you have not been personally invited, you may contact the organising party of that event directly to request an invitation. It is up to the organising party to decide wether or not they can offer you entrance. NL Space Campus has no influence on that decision. Please contact the organising party directly for any questions.

I’m interested in exploring how space can help me grow my business, which events should I attend?

If you are a (non-space) investor and/or business wanting to connect with the industry to accelerate your growth, we recommend you to keep an eye on the programma that will be announced soon. There will be plenty events where you can learn, talk and network with likeminded people and businesses. You can also find us there and we are happy to talk, answer all your questions in person, and help you get connected to the right organisations and businesses. Also follow NL Space Campus on LinkedIn for more opportunities for (non-)space businesses!
