Team NORSTEC Summit 2027

NORSTEC Summit brings young talent and industry stakeholders together to learn, inspire, and create new collaborations around a rapidly growing industry and new technologies. The event is open to anyone who is curious – you do not need to be “part of the scene” beforehand. The summit serves two main purposes: to provide a meeting place for the student organizations within NORSTEC, and to inspire students outside the space sector to explore the industry and the opportunities it offers.

Globally, major shifts are underway: According to McKinsey, the global space economy could reach USD 1.8 trillion by 2035¹, while the EU estimates that the European space economy could reach EUR 378 billion by 2031². Space is no longer a niche—it is a future-oriented industry with significant opportunities for technology, jobs, and value creation.

Norway holds a unique position. From Tromsø in the north to Stavanger in the south, student communities are developing rockets, satellites, and cutting-edge space technology at a world-class level. More than 500 students are already organized across nine technical organizations, now united under NORSTEC. Together, we elevate one another, share knowledge, and showcase what the next generation can create.
