SpaceBR Show, conceived and organized by MundoGEO, has already become a milestone in the country by gathering 60 speakers from public departments and private companies in Brazil and the world, including the US, Argentina, Paraguay and Europe, to debate important themes for the future of this area. It was the first time Brazil held an event regarding the space sector with that range of content and reach.
The event, which took part from November 8th to 12th, in 100% online format, has reached so far more than 5 thousand people in live broadcasts and replay, in 41 countries and more than 952 different cities. The data makes it clear that despite being managed in Brazil, SpaceBR Show crossed the geography boundaries of the country, as well as the space sector, which is essentially global.

The SpaceBR Show audience has also demonstrated that a younger age group of professionals must lead the new opportunities in the space area. This is because, among all participants, 42% are between 18 and 30 years old. The second most present age group is between 31 and 50 years old (34%), and the remaining above 50 years old.
“This year event fully reached the objective of gathering the components of the quadruple helix formed by the government, academy, industry and society. The latter being the main beneficiary of the space sector several applications. It’s worth it to highlight the growing participation of an even bigger number of start-ups and its investors attracted by the opportunities of New Space in the entrepreneurial environment”
