SPACE
Starting the new era
of Space now.
SPACE FOR EARTH
At ILA Berlin, you can meet international stakeholders from politics, business, and science. Visitors include representatives of innovative start-ups, as well as established space agencies and aerospace companies. Be part of our unique event program, featuring lectures and panels on current topics such as climate protection, digitalization, mobility, and security.
On the ILA STAGES, experts from business, research, and politics will discuss a comprehensive range of space topics. The New Space and Careers in Space section will also play a central role.
Space travel fascinates. Space travel connects. Space travel protects.
Considering such topics such as astronautical or robotic missions to the moon and mars, reliable communications worldwide, high-resolution earth observation for climate protection, precise navigation for intelligent mobility, or technology transfer through research, one thing is clear: space travel is all-encompassing.
ILA Space Pavilion
Space connects innovation, security, and sustainability. In the ILA Space Pavilion, we showcase how European space technologies improve our daily lives, open up new horizons, and strengthen Europe’s future. In focus:
- Autonomy and Resilience
- Exploration and Discovery
- Technology and Operations
- Planet and Climate

Unique space exhibition worldwide
Our attractive stage and event program will feature panels with leading space industry figures, discussing innovative high technologies, exciting space developments, and fascinating future projects. Exhibitors from all over the world will present their latest products and services at the ILA Space Pavilion. Be part of it, too!
Space Hub
The commercialization of space and its integration with other industries will be a key focal point at ILA 2026. The Space Hub area will include established players in the space industry, as well as newcomers from the startup scene.
Space exploration is worthwhile.
The importance of space exploration remains consistently high. Many challenges of modern society can only be solved through innovations from this field. Key topics will be addressed in the ILA Space Pavilion:
Autonomy and Resilience
Space strengthens Europe’s strategic capacity to act in an increasingly unstable world. Satellites enable secure communication, navigation, earth observation, and crisis response, forming an indispensable foundation of modern security and infrastructure systems. Independent access to space, resilient infrastructures, and protection against cyberattacks, space debris, and space weather are decisive for Europe’s sovereignty and security.
Exploration and Discovery
Space expands our knowledge of Earth, the Moon, Mars, and the universe while driving technological innovation. Together with international partners, Europe is shaping the new era of exploration – from scientific missions in space to the return to the Moon. German research institutions, companies, and astronauts are making important contributions, showcasing Europe’s scientific and technological strength worldwide.
Technology and Operations
Technological excellence and operational expertise are essential prerequisites for Europe’s competitiveness in space. New materials, advanced manufacturing technologies, and innovative propulsion systems enable high-performance and sustainable space systems. At the same time, highly specialized control centres, ground stations, and industrial capabilities – including at key sites in Germany – ensure the reliable operation of complex missions and the continued development of modern space technologies.
Planet and Climate
Space-based applications make a decisive contribution to protecting our planet. Earth observation satellites provide precise data on climate change, environmental changes, weather events, and natural resources, supporting sustainable decisions worldwide. At the same time, space security, the monitoring of space debris and near-Earth objects, and the protection of critical infrastructures are gaining ever greater importance – from the safe use of orbit to planetary defence and asteroid deflection.
