CASSINI Entrepreneurship Days 2025: Advancing Space and Defence Innovation
The 2025 edition of the CASSINI Entrepreneurship Days will place a special emphasis on the convergence of space and defence innovation, a domain that is central to Europe’s resilience and strategic autonomy. The presence of the EU Defence Innovation Scheme (EUDIS) underscores the European Union’s commitment to strengthening technological excellence and integrating disruptive innovation into its wider defence strategy. Participants will be able to discover in detail the financial opportunities offered by the EUDIS programme and how it can support the growth of pioneering solutions.
An important feature of the event is that participation is entirely free of charge. Exhibition stands are provided at no cost to start-ups wishing to showcase their space solutions, and the programme also facilitates one-to-one meetings with investors at no expense. These elements make CASSINI Entrepreneurship Days a unique platform within the European innovation ecosystem.

The event further offers an opportunity to connect with Europe’s leading space and defence actors, pitch to decision-makers, and develop new partnerships that contribute to the EU’s strategic objectives.
An additional highlight of the programme is the keynote address by Chiara Montanari, polar explorer and leadership expert, whose insights into thriving in extreme and uncertain conditions promise to inspire participants. The event will also celebrate the achievements of the CASSINI Challenges winners, demonstrating the entrepreneurial potential and market-ready solutions emerging across Europe.
