At the Technology Forum technological news were introduced. Both forums had activities at all hours of the duration of the exhibition.

Business Networking

One of the two areas for business networking.

One of the projects at the Space Tech Expo Europe his year, was the “Speed Networking for Business”. A large area in the exhibition hall was dedicated to this type of networking.  Over 1,000 meetings scheduled to take place over three days, participants and exhibitors were able to pre-arrange quickfire one-to-one meetings prior to the show. This allowed participants to make the most of their time and make multiple business connections within a short space of time. It is unknown how many used this type of networking, but the areas were very busy every day.
