NSE 2026 in Rome: the space economy

From space technology to an industry

NSE – New Space Economy European Expoforum brings together space technology, research and business. Its eighth edition takes place at Fiera Roma on 25–27 November 2026. It looks beyond the broad idea of space to real organisations, practical problems and developments that need partners or users.

The organiser describes the space economy as connecting many areas of science and industry. NSE can therefore interest entrepreneurs, researchers and students as well as specialists in spacecraft and flight. A concrete question helps: what is already being offered, how is a field developing and who could discuss a joint project?

Exhibition and discussion

A technical and scientific conference is central to the programme, alongside exhibition and business activities. The organiser describes participation by institutions, startups, academic communities and industry representatives. Visitors can compare what they hear in sessions with the projects explained in the exhibition.

Our editorial suggestion is to read the conference programme and participant list before travelling. Business visitors can identify stands and talking points. Newcomers may prefer broader sessions before moving into specialist questions. Particular formats can have their own access conditions, so check registration on the page for the activity you choose.

Dates and practical planning

NSE runs on 25–27 November 2026 at Fiera Roma, Via Portuense 1645–1647. Use the full exhibition centre name when planning your route. Check current hours, registration rules and programme changes with the organiser before visiting. Leave time for the conversations that follow your selected sessions.

For a journey from your hotel, provide its actual address, your visit date, passenger numbers and preferred arrival time. If you are flying into Fiumicino (FCO) or Ciampino (CIA), plan the airport-to-hotel journey and the event visit as separate stages. You can contact Hola Taxi to discuss the transfer request. Choose your last session, appointment or activity before arranging the return journey, taking your later plans into account.
