The upcoming edition on 24 April will focus on the theme of Funding & Financing. You’ll hear the latest updates from NL Space Campus and SBIC Noordwijk, and gain insights into opportunities and initiatives that can support your space-related activities.

This edition has a great mix and large amount of guests, as we welcome both a group of 40 students studying entrepreneurship at the Unknown University of Applied Sciences and receive the attendees of the General Membership Meeting of SpaceNed. So register in time if you want to join this edition!

There will be no Network & Drinks in May and June due to Ascension Day (29 May) and the NATO summit (24–25 June), so this is a good moment to come together, exchange ideas, and catch up before the summer period. This month’s topic will touch on funding and finance, a practical area for anyone moving forward with new plans or partnerships.

NL Space Campus Network Community

Together, we make the campus a meeting place for the space (interested) community! A place and platform where entrepreneurs, education, research, government, and the environment meet. And where open innovation originates. This often starts with a chance encounter, a shared passion, and a new idea. Bring colleagues we don’t know yet, startups that want to meet other startups, young professionals that want to meet older professionals, and maybe even that curious potential investor. Feel free and welcome to share this invitation with people in your network who are also curious to join our Network & Drinks and join the growing space community of NL Space Campus.

Every last Thursday of the month at 17:00 CET, we host a special Network and Drinks for everyone interested in Space, where multiple start-ups and innovative companies pitch their potential and ideas, and visitors can grow their network.

The event is on campus at the Space Business Innovation Centre Noordwijk. Every edition we have multiple pitches from interesting initiatives, start-ups and projects. You will also hear updates from NL Space Campus, the community and SBIC Noordwijk. During the networking part, you can also meet and talk to our partners such as SBIC, NSO, SpaceNed, NVR, ESA ESTEC, LDE Universities and SGAC.

Are you excited to pitch your organisation or initiative on stage in 3 minutes in a future edition of Network & Drinks? You can fill out this form for a pitch, and we will get back to you. In the meantime, don’t miss the chance to register for Network & Drinks, where you can meet your peers and connect with new people!
