Under the motto “The World Needs More Space”, the international space community gathered in Antalya from 5 to 9 October 2026 for the 77th International Astronautical Congress (IAC). The event focused on the latest technological developments, international cooperation, and the question of how to shape the future of space exploration in a safe, sustainable, and collaborative way.

The German Pavilion, organised by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) and supported by the German Aerospace Industries Association (BDLI), showcased more than 20 exhibitors, making it the largest national pavilion at the IAC. German companies, start-ups, and research institutions used this international platform to present their innovative technologies, products, and services to a global professional audience and to establish new partnerships.

Our special thanks go to the BMWE, which, through its Foreign Trade Fair Programme, provides small and medium-sized enterprises in particular with an attractive and cost-effective opportunity to showcase their expertise at one of the world's leading space industry exhibitions.
