The Luxembourg Space Agency (LSA) was established in 2018 with the goal of developing the national space sector. Today, the agency fosters new and existing companies, develops human resources, facilitates access to funding and provides support for academic research: its mission is to develop Luxembourg's space sector by connecting space companies with businesses from other industries, help new start-ups get started and established companies grow. The LSA also represents Luxembourg within the European Space Agency (ESA), as well as the space related programs of the European Union and the United Nations.
On May 19, 2026, the representatives of the Luxembourg Space Agency and a large cohort of national space companies will visit the Italian city of Turin to meet the start-up ecosystem of I3P, the Innovative Companies Incubator of Politecnico di Torino, and its incubation program ESA BIC Turin.
During the event, organized in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI), the delegation from Luxembourg will present the latest initiatives, ventures and opportunities for collaboration, while a group of Italian start-ups supported by ESA BIC Turin will pitch their projects in the space sector, fostering business matching and networking.
The meeting of the two ecosystems will mark an event of international relevance, offering entrepreneurs and space enthusiasts a unique occasion to exchange knowledge, ideas, visions and contacts in the Space Economy sector.
