ABOUT

The Hokkaido Space Summit is space-related business conference, set in Hokkaido Spaceport, a commercial spaceport available for private-sector use. Last year, the conference drew 1,000 individuals from all over Japan, with a total of 3,000 participants including those online, and great enthusiasm as well as many business opportunities were generated. For the conference, now in its fourth year, a variety of guest speakers from both Japan and abroad have been invited. Participants to the conference will be able to see the current state of the space industry, as well as the progress in the gathering of businesses in Hokkaido that are engaged in the space industry.
