Designing Space Systems: From Simulation & Validation to AI-Driven Multi-Physics

In Summa is organising an in-person event on Thursday, 25 June at the Space Business Innovation Centre Noordwijk dedicated to advanced space system design.

The programme will bring together industry experts to explore topics ranging from high-level concepts to technical use cases and real-world applications, with a focus on simulation, validation, and AI capabilities. The event will conclude with networking drinks hosted by NL Space Campus.

Due to the limited number of places, the event is intended for companies interested in leveraging advanced engineering tools and capabilities for research, testing, and validation, and exploring how these can support current and future developments.
