Two days at Espace Champerret built around pre-scheduled one-to-one business meetings between space buyers and their supply chain, with an exhibition, a conference programme and a startup pitch challenge around the meeting grid.
Paris Space Week is a two-day business-to-business space convention held at Espace Champerret in Paris. The 2027 edition takes place on 31 March and 1 April, with opening hours from 9am to 6pm. It is organised by ASTech Paris Region, the Île-de-France aerospace cluster, and Vimeet events. The format is built on a matchmaking platform through which participants request and confirm one-to-one meetings ahead of the event: the previous edition reported more than 4,000 scheduled meetings, over 150 exhibiting companies and more than 2,000 visitors from over 40 countries. Around the meeting grid sit an exhibition, a conference programme and a pitch challenge for startups.
Paris hosts two space weeks and they are not competitors. World Space Business Week in September gathers a few hundred executives in a hotel, sells passes at three to four and a half thousand euros and has no exhibition floor. Paris Space Week in spring gathers the supply chain, sells a meeting grid and has no interest in the boardroom conversation.
Confusing the two wastes a trip. If the goal is to hear satellite operators state their commercial direction, September is the event. If the goal is to place a component with a prime contractor or to find a qualified subcontractor, the spring convention at Champerret is the one that produces meetings, because the entire format exists to produce them.
Participants register, publish a profile describing what they supply or seek, then request meetings with other registered participants. Confirmed slots are assembled into an individual timetable and attendees arrive with a fixed schedule for the two days. The exhibition stands and the conference programme fill the gaps between meetings rather than the reverse. This is the same industrial matchmaking model used by the aerospace and defence meetings series, and it rewards preparation heavily: a participant who does not fill in a profile and request meetings gets very little from the event.
The exhibition and conference cover launchers and access to space, satellite manufacturing and subsystems, components, materials and testing, downstream applications, sustainability in space and startup innovation. The pitch challenge gives early-stage companies a stage in front of the primes and investors present.
No. They are separate events run by different organisers at different times of year with different formats. World Space Business Week is an executive summit in September; Paris Space Week is a supply chain convention in spring.
The organisers are French and the base is the Île-de-France aerospace cluster, but the previous edition reported visitors from more than 40 countries. Working language on the floor is French and English.
No. Visitors also use the matchmaking platform. Exhibiting gives you a physical base for the meetings, which matters for anyone showing hardware.
ASTech Paris Region is the Île-de-France aerospace competitiveness cluster, which gives the event its industrial membership base. Vimeet events, formerly advanced business events, is the French specialist in pre-scheduled business meeting conventions and supplies the matchmaking platform and the format.
Paris runs two space weeks: one sells access to executives at three thousand euros, this one sells a meeting grid to the supply chain.
Registration runs through the event's matchmaking platform, reachable from the official website through the "get your pass" and "become an exhibitor" routes. Pass pricing was not published on the public pages at the verification date and is shown on the registration platform. Exhibition stands are sold by the organisers' sales team, contactable on the numbers listed in the practical information section. Register early enough to appear in the matchmaking catalogue before other participants build their schedules, since meeting slots fill in the weeks before the event rather than on site.
31 March and 1 April 2027 at Espace Champerret, 6 rue Jean Oestreicher, 75017 Paris, open from 9am to 6pm.
Pass pricing was not published on the website at the verification date. Rates appear on the registration platform.
Metro line 3 and tram T3b both stop at Porte de Champerret, with exit 1 leading to the venue. RER line C serves Pereire-Levallois nearby, and bus routes 84, 92, 39, 163, 164, 165 and PC pass the site. Drivers are directed to the SAEMES car park at 10 boulevard de l'Yser.
Yes. The event is the meeting grid. Arriving without a confirmed schedule reduces it to a small exhibition.
