World Space Business Week (WSBW) is a C-level gathering for space and satellite business leaders, focused on helping executives exchange perspectives, navigate strategic challenges, and turn conversations into business. It is hosted annually in Paris and brings together investors, operators, manufacturers, service providers, government stakeholders, and emerging disruptors.
WSBW comprises two complementary summits that can be attended independently or as a full-week experience: the Summit for Satellite Financing (SSF) and the Summit on Earth Observation Business (SEOB). SSF centers on the financial and industrial priorities shaping the global space market, including manufacturing at scale, operator ambitions, next-generation ground systems, connectivity, cloud-driven architectures, and mobility-enabled services, with a joint Wednesday program that expands into NewSpace and smallsat business models.
SEOB convenes leaders across remote sensing technologies and constellations, ground segment innovation (including GSaaS), and platforms that transform data into actionable intelligence. Discussions address the commercial and strategic dynamics accelerating EO adoption, including AI-enabled analytics, cloud delivery models, trusted data pipelines, and requirements of vertical markets such as climate, maritime, and agriculture.
The SSF and SEOB streams are designed to connect investment, infrastructure, and market demand, including Wednesday-level alignment between EO priorities and NewSpace economics, launch capacity, industrial scaling, and sovereignty drivers.
