Lieu et site d’exposition

New Space Economy Expoforum 2026 will be held at Fiera Roma, one of the largest exhibition complexes serving Rome and the surrounding Lazio region.

Lieu : Fiera Roma

Adresse : Via Portuense 1645–1647, 00148 Rome, Italy

Fiera Roma offers approximately 390,000 square metres of overall external space, including around 150,000 square metres of covered exhibition space. Its exhibition infrastructure consists of nine large column-free halls plus a conference centre with meeting rooms.

The venue is particularly suited to a space-industry exhibition because it can accommodate large technology displays, company stands, conference sessions, startup areas, demonstrations and professional networking within the same exhibition complex.

Fiera Roma is also located less than 5 kilometres from Rome-Fiumicino Airport, making it practical for international exhibitors and visitors arriving from overseas.

Programme complet de l’événement

The 2026 programme is structured around several connected areas rather than a single exhibition floor.

Scientific and technical conference

The conference is the central intellectual component of NSE 2026. It will feature panels and roundtables involving institutional representatives, space agencies, policy experts, journalists, academics and industry leaders from Italy and abroad.

Pitch Competition

The NSE Startup Pitch Competition provides a platform for innovative companies to present their projects and technologies to industry professionals, investors and other members of the space ecosystem.

Arena Programme

The Arena provides an additional setting for presentations, discussions, company contributions and specialist sessions. Previous Arena programming has included discussions on space communications, Earth observation, space economy, innovation and the role of Rome and Lazio in the space sector.

Educational Hub

The Educational Hub connects students, universities, research centres, clusters and companies. The 2026 Future & Young initiative is designed to encourage knowledge transfer, skills development and collaboration between young people and organisations working in the space economy.

Career Opportunities

Career-oriented activities will connect students, graduates and professionals with companies and organisations looking for skills in aerospace, engineering, digital technologies, Earth observation, research and related fields.

Exhibition

The exhibition floor will provide space for established aerospace companies, startups, research organisations, public institutions and technology providers to present products, services and projects.

Aircraft & aviation highlights

NSE is focused primarily on the space economy rather than being a conventional aviation or air-show event. Aircraft displays and flight demonstrations are therefore not the central attraction.

The connection with aerospace is nevertheless significant, with companies and institutions involved in spacecraft, satellite systems, launch technologies, Earth observation, advanced engineering and related aerospace activities represented within the wider ecosystem.

The 2025 exhibitor list included major aerospace and space-sector organisations such as Aeronautica Militare, Avio, Leonardo and OHB Italia, alongside the Italian Space Agency and numerous specialist technology companies.

Visitors interested in aviation should therefore approach NSE as a professional aerospace and space-industry event rather than a public aviation exhibition with scheduled aircraft flying displays.

Airlines, manufacturers & exhibitors

The 2026 exhibitor list is being developed by the organisers, while the latest published exhibitor information provides a strong indication of the organisations and technologies represented at NSE.

Previous exhibitors included:

• Aeronautica Militare
• AIAD – Italian Industries Federation for Aerospace, Defence and Security
• ASI – Italian Space Agency
• Avio
• ENEA
• Leonardo
• OHB Italia
• Planetek Italia
• Serco Italia
• Starion Italia
• Telespazio-related industry participants
• Universities and research centres
• Lazio-based aerospace and technology companies
• Space startups and technology developers

The 2025 exhibitor list also included companies such as Aresys, Anywaves, Cosine Remote Sensing, GTER, INGV, Picostats, Space Dynamics Services, Technoservizi, Tethys and several startup-area companies.

The exhibition therefore covers the wider space supply chain rather than focusing on airlines. Visitors can expect spacecraft and satellite technologies, Earth observation, software, sensing, aerospace engineering, research, communications and emerging space applications.

Air shows & flight demonstrations

New Space Economy Expoforum is not organised as a traditional air show and does not have a published programme of daily aerobatic displays or public flight demonstrations.

The event’s demonstrations are primarily technology-based, with companies presenting aerospace and space systems, software, satellite applications, Earth observation technologies and engineering solutions.

The Arena and exhibition areas provide opportunities for companies and researchers to explain technologies directly to professional visitors. Previous editions have also used presentations and specialist sessions to discuss Earth observation, space applications, innovation and emerging technologies.

Visitors specifically looking for aircraft flying displays should therefore distinguish NSE from traditional aviation exhibitions. NSE’s emphasis is on the industrial and technological ecosystem behind space and aerospace rather than public flight entertainment.

Exhibition halls & displays

Fiera Roma provides a large-scale exhibition environment with nine column-free halls and a dedicated conference centre. The venue has approximately 150,000 square metres of covered exhibition space and extensive infrastructure for professional events.

The final 2026 floor plan and exact hall allocation should be checked through NSE’s official exhibitor information as the event approaches.

Previous NSE editions have used several areas and rooms for exhibitors, startups, universities and institutional organisations. The 2025 exhibitor list included stand references such as A2/A4, B6, C6/D5, E11 and other hall locations, while universities also used dedicated conference rooms.

The 2026 exhibition is expected to include:

• Established aerospace and space companies
• Startup areas
• Institutional stands
• Research and university projects
• Technology demonstrations
• Innovation projects
• Professional services
• Industry associations
• Career and educational activities

Ticket types & registration

The official NSE website promotes professional participation and registration for the 2026 edition. The organisers have not published a standard consumer admission price that can be reliably used for the event.

The principal access categories are expected to include:

Visitor registration

Professional and general industry visitors can register to attend the exhibition and associated programme activities according to the organiser’s access conditions.

Exhibitor access

Companies exhibiting at NSE receive access arrangements connected with their participation, including stand and professional services.

Conference access

Conference sessions may have specific registration or access requirements depending on the programme and capacity.

Startup participation

Startups can participate through the startup ecosystem, pitch competition and dedicated exhibition activities.

Because the official 2026 site does not currently publish a confirmed general admission price, no invented dollar ticket price is provided. Visitors should use the official registration system for the current access conditions.

VIP & professional access

NSE is strongly focused on professional and institutional participation.

The organisers specifically promote access to decision-makers, investors and key space-sector stakeholders, as well as dedicated B2B meetings and networking programmes. Exhibitors are also offered opportunities to present technologies and innovations to a selected professional audience.

Professional access is particularly relevant for:

• Aerospace and space companies
• Investors and funds
• Government and institutional representatives
• Research organisations
• Universities
• Startups
• Technology suppliers
• Industry associations
• Specialist media
• Students and young professionals

The final 2026 accreditation and any VIP or invited-guest arrangements should be confirmed through the organiser.

Boat, yacht & marine exhibitions

There is no dedicated boat or yacht exhibition at New Space Economy Expoforum 2026.

The event’s focus is on space and connected aerospace technologies rather than marine leisure, shipbuilding or yacht manufacturing.

Some space technologies may have applications relevant to maritime industries, including satellite communications, Earth observation, navigation, environmental monitoring and remote sensing. However, these should be understood as cross-sector space applications rather than a dedicated marine exhibition.

Visitors specifically seeking boats, yachts or marine equipment would need to attend a specialist nautical trade show rather than NSE.

Product launches & technology

Technology innovation is one of the principal themes of NSE 2026.

The exhibition provides companies with a platform to present new technologies, prototypes, services and commercial applications to industry professionals, institutions, investors and research organisations.

Important technology areas include:

• Earth observation
• Satellite applications
• Geospatial intelligence
• Remote sensing
• Space communications
• Satellite systems
• In-orbit services
• Space exploration
• Space sustainability
• Space debris monitoring
• Cybersecurity
• Advanced engineering
• Digital technologies
• Artificial intelligence and data applications
• Environmental monitoring
• Space-related software

The 2025 programme also featured the #T-TeC innovation competition, promoted by Leonardo and Telespazio, which invited students, PhD candidates and young researchers to present solutions involving areas such as geoinformation, in-orbit services, space exploration and protection from space debris.

The 2026 Startup Pitch Competition is another important innovation platform, allowing emerging companies to present new business concepts and technologies within the space ecosystem.
