NextSpace 2026

This inaugural event brings together domestic and international thought leaders, public stakeholders, entrepreneurs and investors to help accelerate the development and use of commercial space services to support real-world needs.

NextSpace 2026 features discussions on national strategy, viable use cases, cross-sector collaboration and commercialization success stories — told by those who have been directly involved in charting the new course.
 

Why Attend?

NextSpace will put the necessity of (significant) government procurement reform at the center of Sweden’s conversation about NewSpace. The focus will not only be on identifying what is holding Sweden back, but also determining how existing structures need to evolve – and how “commercialization” can be leveraged to strengthen Sweden’s sovereign capabilities.
