What is ActInSpace?

Launched by CNES (French government space agency) in 2014 and co-organised by ESA (European Space Agency) through Aerospace Valley since 2016, ActInSpace is an international competition enabling to imagine the products and services of tomorrow using satellite data or space applications.

ActInSpace2020 is already the fourth edition of the contest and it has truly become international! Over fifty countries and eighty cities participate in the event, and candidates come in from all corners of the globe.

Created in order to foster entrepreneurship, especially among young people, midway between a startup weekend and a hackathon, ActInSpace enables teams with different profiles throughout the world to take up, in just 24 hours, one of the challenges set up by CNES, ESA and their partners, and finally launch their startup.

One of the objectives of ActInSpace is to create a bridge between space agencies and citizens. Therefore, the competition offers challenges based on CNES and its partners patents, which participants can access exceptionally. Experts from the space industry and business(wo)men are present to advise and help the contestants.

Through these challenges, combining proactiveness, innovation and team spirit, ActInSpace fosters and facilitates entrepreneurship among young people while promoting space technologies for daily uses, for the benefit of citizens, employment and our planet.

The first international prize is a ZeroG flight in the European astronaut’s aircraft and all competitors get the opportunity to be accompanied for the launch of their startup.

Since the 1st edition of ActInSpace®, some 36 startups have actually been launched in the different host countries.
