Four Galaxia portfolio startups showcased space tech at the German-Italian Aerospace Forum in Berlin.

Europe is entering a new phase of space development, where the pursuit of new frontiers goes hand in hand with infrastructure and industrial deployment.
In 2025, ESA Member States committed a record investment of over €22 billion, the largest in the Agency’s history. Italy and Germany stand among the leading contributors, bringing complementary strengths to Europe’s space ecosystem and supporting Europe’s autonomous access to space.

This is why initiatives such as the “German-Italian Aerospace Forum” are so important, to take stock of progress but also to connect the space supply chain with emerging industries, innovators and terrestrial sectors, opening new markets and creating concrete business opportunities.

Last Wednesday in Berlin 4 startups from our #Galaxia portfolio showcased how innovation is driving real technological advances in satellite connectivity, propulsion systems and space infrastructure: Celeste Technologies, FAST Aerospace, ORiS - Space, SatEnlight.

The event opened with remarks from Ambassador Fabrizio Bucci, ITA Director Ferdinando Fiore, and ITKAM CEO Eliomaria Narducci, followed by a keynote speech by ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, introduced by ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher.

Thanks ITKAM - Italian Chamber of Commerce for Germany for organizing the event, under the patronage of Ambasciata d'Italia in Germania / Botschaft der Italienischen Republik in Deutschland, in collaboration with ITA - Italian Trade Agency - Berlin and BDLI Bundesverband der Deutschen Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie e.V..
