This space industry conference and exhibition is the 2026 edition of Industry Space Days, organised by European Space Agency (ESA) within its established sector programme. Its programme connects eSA industry engagement, space business development and b2B meetings for european space companies, sMEs, eSA programme stakeholders and business-development teams seeking a focused view of the event’s technical, professional and practical relevance.
About Industry Space Days
Industry Space Days is a space industry conference and exhibition scheduled for 16-17 September 2026 at ESA/ESTEC in Noordwijk, Netherlands. Its scope brings eSA industry engagement, space business development, b2B meetings and european space supply chains into one programme, giving the event a clear primary identity rather than treating every adjacent aerospace or space subject as equivalent. Industry Space Days is built around exhibitor displays, sector meetings and technical and commercial conversations, which clarifies what the event actually offers.
For european space companies, sMEs and eSA programme stakeholders, ISD offers specialist subjects in the context of the organisations, systems and decisions that use them. Industry Space Days also creates useful links between eSA industry engagement and space business development, two areas that often need to be considered together in real projects. At Industry Space Days, the venue and programme should be read together because its space industry conference and exhibition format determines how the day is organised.
Event history and organiser
Industry Space Days is presented as a continuing event family, with Industry Space Days 2026 forming its 2026 edition. European Space Agency (ESA) is named in the current event information as the organisation responsible for, or directly connected with, Industry Space Days. For Industry Space Days, the year is the clearest edition marker and separates the current programme from archived material for earlier events. Across ISD editions, the stable identity comes from eSA industry engagement, space business development and b2B meetings, while dates, venue arrangements and access details remain edition-specific. Industry Space Days should therefore be understood through both its continuing sector role and the practical information published for 2026. European Space Agency (ESA)'s relationship with Industry Space Days identifies who sets the programme context and where attendees should look for authoritative updates. The ISD edition at ESA/ESTEC in Noordwijk, Netherlands continues that identity while giving the programme a specific geographic and institutional setting.

Who should attend?
Industry Space Days is principally relevant to european space companies, sMEs and eSA programme stakeholders. At ISD, these groups can use the exhibitor displays and sector meetings to place eSA industry engagement alongside space business development and identify programme areas closest to their responsibilities. Business-development teams can assess Industry Space Days from a different angle, using its themes to understand where their work intersects with the main professional community. Space suppliers may also find a good fit where the programme addresses b2B meetings. Industry Space Days is less useful to people seeking unrelated general-interest content because its value comes from the defined focus on eSA industry engagement.
