INNOspace Masters Conference and Awards Ceremony 2020/21

The virtual INNOspace Masters Conference and Awards Ceremony was a complete success

The INNOspace Masters Conference and Awards Ceremony was held virtually on 29 July 2021 after having to be postponed due to the pandemic. The entire conference on the theme of “Innovations for sustainable infrastructure in space and on Earth” was broadcast live on the Internet and was a complete success. Via the live stream, an online audience had the opportunity to following exciting keynotes and witness the announcement of the innovative winning ideas from the previous round of the competition.

The highlight of the event was the announcement and presentation of awards to the winners of the five INNOspace Masters challenges as well as the overall winner of this year’s competition round.

We would like to thank our partners Airbus, OHB, DB Netz AG and the ESA Business Incubation Centres, as well as all of those involved in the conference, for their support and their contribution to the success of this competition format.

This year’s winners and their ideas have now been added to our winner portfolio.

Look forward to finding out the topic for the next competition round 2021/2022 of the INNOspace Masters. This will be opened at a kick-off event at the German Aeronautics and Space Congress (DLRK) 2021 on 1 September 2021.
