Space Sweden

Our Mission

Space Sweden’s vision is for Swedish SMEs and startups to take a leading role in positioning Sweden as one of Europe’s most innovative and prominent nations in the space economy.

Our mission is to help transform innovative ideas and breakthrough technologies into scalable businesses, new collaborations, and real-world impact. By connecting capital, industry needs, policy, and entrepreneurship, we create opportunities where innovation and commercialization can grow together. Join us to make this happen!

Read more about our mission

Together, we aim to strengthen Sweden as an open, fast-growing, and internationally competitive space nation.

This idea was initiated by four leading deep-tech and space incubators, with the goal to attract startups, SMEs, corporates, investors, academia, and public & defence stakeholders to accelerate the growth of Sweden’s space ecosystem.

Our ultimate ambition is to build the highest concentration of space unicorns per capita in the world within the next decade.

The Swedish advantage

Why Space Sweden?
