Kingsday and the holiday week obviously didn’t hold our space community back to get together at the monthly NL Space Campus Network & Drinks. An extra orange edition and an orange toast with over 60 people. Find your photo below, (re)watch the livestream and register for the next event!
The vibe on stage was again really well (interesting pitches of start-ups and new initiatives) and together with the networking afterwards, we received much feedback on how many new contacts everyone made and with all the new ideas and actions everyone left.
Every NL Space Campus Network & Drinks we meet new faces and as such, you can meet new people every month by joining our montly networking event. We encourage everyone to leave with at least 1 new contact, 1 new idea and 1 new action and this seems to work which is great. You can already register for the next edition here.

Noordwijk Marketing & NL Space Campus challenge owners for the Cassini Hackathon 12 – 14 May
To help us explore nature with care, the challenge ‘exploring nature with care’ is offered with real life insights by competition partners Noordwijk Marketing and NL Space Campus. Noordwijk is mainly known for being the heart of the space industry in the Netherlands, and it’s home to one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe.
The town is awarded yearly for their efforts in creating an environment friendly tourist place. For instance, it has the European quality mark ‘Quality Coast’. Noordwijk wants to keep it this way, while at the same time promoting its coast. Next to that, Noordwijk is also further developing the NL Space Campus for businesses in the space industry.
With entities like ESA ESTEC, SBIC Noordwijk and Galileo Reference Centre already there, we aim to create more economic impact for the region by opening up for more space businesses. How to do this with nature in mind? To solve this with space technology – really is a practice what you preach scenario. Are you excited hearing about this theme? Apply for the hackathon and join us in solving this challenge!
