Discover how our partners collaborate to create a positive impact

In our mission to ‘Connect the Curious’, NL Space Campus organises hackathons to boost space innovation and accelerate the space innovation ecosystem. These events are win-win: they spark new ideas for using space technology and data in practical ways, while also getting fresh talent excited about space. By mixing bright minds from different fields, we create a melting pot for quick problem-solving and out-of-the-box thinking. This approach isn’t just about cool tech – it’s about finding space-based solutions that can really make a difference for society and the economy. Plus, it’s a great way to show potential recruits how exciting and important the space industry is.
