The Space Week is organized around the World Space Business Week (WSBW), positioned as a business meeting place for the global space community. To expand business opportunities, WSBW is complemented by two purpose-built events: the Space Defense & Security Summit (SDSS) and the Space Innovation Summit (SPIN), creating one Paris gathering that connects commercial decision-makers with defense, security, and innovation stakeholders.
WSBW is described as gathering 95% of the global commercial satellite industry across the full value chain, with four days of high-level conferences, curated networking, and deal-making. The agenda emphasis includes finance and connectivity, plus themes such as constellations, sustainability, Earth observation (EO), space agency strategies, digital transformation, SSA, mobility, and new space.
Running in parallel with WSBW, SDSS is presented as a platform for government, industry, and defense leaders focused on urgent developments across the space, defense and security sectors. It offers defense stakeholders direct access to the wider commercial and innovation space ecosystem in Paris to support partnership-building and deal-making, including connections with potential investors, innovators, clients, and partners.
SPIN convenes voices in space innovation for a full day covering breakthrough technologies, dual-use solutions, and new models of strategic collaboration. The program brings together startups, corporates, investors, and public institutions through pitches, panels, and curated networking intended to accelerate connections.
