Arctic Space Week 2026
📍 Bodø & Andøya, September 9th – 11th 2026
The Norwegian High North is rapidly emerging as one of the most important regions for the European space industry. Continental Europe’s first operational orbital spaceport, Andøya Spaceport, is located here, alongside SvalSat – the world’s largest satellite ground station. At the same time, the Arctic waters off the Norwegian coast have become a key area for Europe to monitor from space.
Norwegian Space Cluster, together with Innovation Norway, ESA BIC Norway and Nordland County, and in partnership with Space Norway, are proud to build on the success from the previous years and host Arctic Space Week 2026 in Bodø and Andøya from September 9–11.
The three-day program explores how space technologies are shaping the future of the Arctic, ocean industries, and security, and includes a site visit to Andøya Spaceport, a seminar on “Space for the Arctic, Ocean and Security”, a networking evening, and the Tech Tour Space investor event.
