Interested in space technology? Learn how to utilise it and design a solution to make Europe safer and stronger. The 8th CASSINI Hackathon provides training, mentoring, and inspiration to build your own solution and – maybe – be involved in your own space startup. Big ideas start inside the Hackathon…
Registration is free, and anyone can join – no experience necessary. Come along (in person or virtually) to hear from national experts in business and space technology. Watch our training sessions and delve into the vault of EU space data from Copernicus, EGNOS and Galileo. Bring or join a team, and develop a solution for one of three challenges:

- Unmanned Drone Applications for Defence & Security Operations
- Orbital Security: Navigating the Collision Frontier
The space ecosystem is flourishing in Spain. Arribes’ founders sit on the boards of 20 startups. Dedicated to promoting and growing the industry, Spain has recently announced a €70 million investment in space technology.
So don’t wait around – take this exciting opportunity to join a thriving sector. Join us in Madrid between 22-24th November and discover the vast potential of EU space data.
