Description

 

We are pleased to invite you to our Space Innovation Annual Meeting 2026, hosted by FHNW (Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz) in Brugg-Windisch. This exclusive event is dedicated to our Space Innovation members, bringing together our dynamic community of innovators for a day of inspiring discussions, cutting-edge demonstrations, and valuable networking opportunities.

Discover the latest updates on Space Innovation’s activities and projects, gain exclusive insight into FHNW’s impressive space-related capabilities, and explore pioneering projects presented by our members.

As one of Switzerland’s few academic institutions capable of building complete space instruments, FHNW plays a pivotal role in advancing national space research. Its unique location—at the crossroads of the Aargau, Basel, Basel-Landschaft, and Solothurn cantons—strengthens its contribution to Switzerland’s growing space ecosystem.

We look forward to welcoming you to an inspiring day shaping the future of Swiss space innovation!

**Space Innovation brings together leading experts from academia, industry, and R&D to drive forward ambitious, cutting-edge space initiatives.**
