Highlights
Team Space Sweden North was there to meet industry and partners to explore collaboration opportunities together with Swedish Institute of Space Physics and Luleå University of Technology.
”It’s the place to be. This is where everyone meet and it’s great to see both long-standing business partners as well as so many former students stop by our stand to say hi”, say Maximilian Wecker and Arjun Monga from the Swedish Institute of Space Physics.
They share the stand with Luleå University of Technology’s Olle Persson and Rene Laufer, to showcase the research capabilities and opportunities in Kiruna, including the spacemasters, highly popular among international students aspiring to a career in the space industry.
