The NewSpace Showcase
Our mission is to increase awareness among future professionals about the expansive realm of modern space technology. This technology and its applications have become integral aspects of our lives, enabling us to confront the most significant challenges of our time, including climate change, future mobility, and global real-time communication. The privatization of space, known as NewSpace, is a major driving force in this context, advancing rapidly and emerging as a critical economic factor. However, the scarcity of skilled workers will significantly impact the NewSpace industry.

Workshops
It's Rocket Science. And so much more!
Escape the everyday, enter the realm of space travel!
In our workshops, we show that learning can be fun - especially when you can put the knowledge into practice. That's why our missions include practical puzzles that are challenging but solvable.
Our goal: to strengthen self-confidence.
Our target audience: children and teenagers from grade 8 onwards.
Supporter
Successful missions are always team efforts.
We have a strong agenda and welcome all forms of support. Our special thanks go to our supporters, with whom we are working together to inspire tomorrow's skilled workers for space flight.
#teamSPACE
NewSpace is a matter of mindset. And the future, of course.
In 2015, the United Nations committed to implementing several measures to ensure Earth remains a livable planet by 2030. To achieve the 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), many of which are critical to our planet's future, modern space applications are essential. As advocates for #teamSPACE, we believe it is our responsibility to increase awareness and emphasize the social relevance of NewSpace in achieving these goals. We strive to achieve this through cross-media communication that is easy to understand and engaging.
