ActInSpace Netherlands 2022

After two successful editions in 2016 & 2018, The Netherlands is ready to host the third edition of this unique space hackathon.

The Netherlands is home to the European Space Agency’s largest R&D facility, ESTEC, and has a long history in high tech development and astronomy research.

Also, The Netherlands was the first country in Europe to set up an ESA Business Incubation Centre (in Noordwijk), where startup companies are supported in creating a successful business from space-based technologies and satellite data.

And now you can do so yourself. Discover the potential of space based technology to improve life on earth. 

AIS2022 will be held in beautiful Leiden, the city with a vibrant life sciences cluster. Close to Noordwijk, you can see why this is a region where innovations keep being born. We hope to see you in PLNT soon!
