ABOUT

Welcome to the Future of Space Collaboration.

The Munich Space Summit – launching March 23–27, 2026 – merges two of Munich’s most recognized space events into one powerful platform: the Munich Satellite Navigation Summit and the Munich New Space Summit.

The synergies between New Space and Satellite Navigation are clear. New Space brings a dynamic, innovation-driven perspective to the space sector, emphasizing private investment, start-ups, and new applications – from satellite systems and launch services to Earth observation. Satellite Navigation, an established field since the 1990s, offers a broad range of interfaces that seamlessly connect with these developments. Together, they create a strong foundation for collaboration and future innovation.

What to expect

The Munich Space Summit 2026 is more than a conference – it’s a week-long forum for innovation, exchange and foresight. It builds bridges between established expertise and emerging ideas, between sectoral silos and shared challenges.


Innovation, entrepreneurship and investment take center stage. Explore the growing role of start-ups, private capital and agile technologies in shaping the commercial space landscape.
With strong input from user sectors such as automotive, telecoms and defence.


A high-level joint programme featuring strategic keynotes, cross-cutting panel discussions and international perspectives from space agencies, research institutions and industry leaders.
Evening: Official Reception


Building on the legacy of the Munich Satellite Navigation Summit, this segment highlights the future of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), robust PNT frameworks and the critical role of navigation technologies for autonomous systems, mobility and infrastructure resilience.

Partners

The University of the Bundeswehr Munich (UniBw M), founded in 1973, provides future military officers with civilian higher education. The degree programs are reflected in high-level research from social sciences and humanities to a broad spectrum of engineering sciences. The Institute of Space Technology and Space Applications (ISTA), part of the University’s research center SPACE, has led satellite and inertial navigation research since 1983, contributing to Galileo and receiver development. ISTA hosts key events and maintains strong ties to the international GNSS community.

The Institute of Communications and Navigation can now look back on a long history. Even in its early years, the Institute played a key role in space programs such as the HELIOS mission to the sun and the construction of the first European telecommunications satellite, Symphonie. Since then, it has been involved in numerous pioneering aerospace developments and projects.

Organizers

Founded in 2010, Munich Aerospace is Bavaria’s research network for aerospace. It connects leading universities, research institutes and companies through joint projects, graduate programmes and knowledge exchange. As initiator of the Munich New Space Summit, Munich Aerospace created a new platform to bring together experts, entrepreneurs and policymakers around the opportunities and challenges of commercial space exploration.

The Institut für Technik Intelligenter Systeme (ITIS, Institute for Intelligent Systems Technology) is a recognized affiliated institute of the University of the Bundeswehr Munich. It was founded in 1993 as an association by professors of the university for the purpose of promoting science, teaching and studies in the broad field of intelligent systems technology.
