BENGALURU: The eighth edition of the biennale Bengaluru Space Expoto showcase the country’s growing potential in space exploration and innovation, is scheduled for September 18-20 at the Bengaluru International Exhibition Centre (BIEC).
By leveraging the Centre’s vision to increase private sector participation in the space sectorSince 2008, Isro, in collaboration with the industry, has been organizing the event. The organizers quote the chairman of Isro S Somanath as said: “Times have changed. We are able to build the best equipment, the best devices and the best missiles in India.”
The latest edition is organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro), the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) and NewSpace India Limited (Nsil) with the theme: “Accelerating the future: harnessing the potential of the space sector for a uniform expansion”.
The theme underscores the event’s focus on fostering collaboration between Indian and international space agencies and companies. The three-day conference and exhibition will serve as a platform to showcase innovations, explore business opportunities and forge partnerships in space.
Key areas of focus include: export readiness, in-space manufacturing, space-based solar power, ground stations as a service, remote sensing, launch vehicles and satellites.
According to the organisers, the expo comes at a crucial time for the Indian space industry. “Despite currently holding only 2-3% share of the global space economy, recent policy changes have opened up unprecedented opportunities for growth. The Indian Space Policy 2023 and related amendments to the FDI policy now allow 100% foreign investment in manufacturing components for satellite, ground and user segments, paving the way for greater participation of the private sector,” the organisers said.
The event, which is expected to attract 250 companies, around 10,000 visitors and over 250 delegates, will also highlight the Indian government’s initiatives to encourage Indian industry participation in the space sector and promote collaboration with international space agencies.
