The India Space Congress (ISC), initiated by SIA-India in 2022, has rapidly established itself as a premier platform in the global space industry. Over the years, ISC has grown exponentially, attracting a diverse and influential audience comprising government officials, space agency leaders, industry executives, entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, and academia from across the globe. The congress is committed to addressing critical gaps in policy and regulatory frameworks, fostering business growth, supporting startups and MSMEs, and enabling innovation and investment in the space sector. It also emphasizes technology transfer and localization through joint R&D projects, advancing India’s aspirations as a global space leader while promoting cross-border partnerships with emerging space economies to foster inclusivity in the global space ecosystem.
ISC 2025, themed ‘Pioneering Innovations in Space Technology: India’s Journey towards Global Partnerships,’ aims to build on foundational government-to-government (G2G) partnerships, translating them into tangible outcomes while placing a strong emphasis on business-to-business (B2B) collaborations. With sustainability as a central focus, ISC 2025 will address pressing challenges in the space sector, such as orbital debris mitigation, green satellite design, and other innovations to ensure long-term sustainability. The event will feature thematic tracks tailored to key sectors, including defense, communication, Earth observation, and space exploration, offering participants a comprehensive view of the space industry’s trajectory.
Key highlights include networking tracks that facilitate cross-sectoral interactions, investment forums showcasing opportunities for domestic and international investors, and an innovation showcase to highlight breakthrough technologies and solutions. Additionally, ISC 2025 will host technology briefs for deep dives into cutting-edge advancements, startup pitch sessions providing emerging ventures with funding and visibility, and mentoring sessions to connect young talent with seasoned industry leaders. The congress will also celebrate excellence through roundtables and awards, encourage thought leadership through calls for papers, and drive collaborative problem-solving and skill-building through workshops and hackathons.
