Space-enabled business is growing rapidly in Finland. Traditional sectors such as shipping industry are transforming with help of the satellite infrastructure. Newcomers are no longer rocket scientists, but data scientists, who build data driven solutions with deep understanding about customer needs.

Interested? Welcome to hear from Cloud Asset, Terramonitor and Zero Gravity how they have entered the space business. You will learn about technologies developed in VTT that are relevant for the autonomous systems and situational awareness. In the event different funding opportunities offered by European Space Agency are introduced. Event is organized together with BalticSatApps, funded by European Union (European Regional Development Fund).

This event launches the SpaceUp Acceleration Program, where future astropreneurs will be born! Event is part of the TechTurku Week.
