The new programme includes:

Sunday 27 September, a day open to the public in the centre of Como, dedicated to science communication and dialogue with citizens, students and enthusiasts.
-
Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 September, the Conference days, hosted at the Telespazio Lario Space Center, featuring keynote speeches, thematic panels, an exhibition area and B2B networking sessions.
-
Wednesday 30 September and Thursday 1 October, the Sector Meetings, dedicated to exclusive visits to companies in the aerospace cluster of northern Italy, working groups, and focused discussions between sector operators, institutions and investors.
Since its very first edition, LarioSpace has established itself as a selective and curated setting, designed to foster quality conversations and concrete collaborations. The 2025 edition saw the participation of over 700 professionals, more than 60 international speakers, the support of the Leonardo Group, the patronage of ASI, ESA, the Presidency of the Council of Ministers and the Lombardy Region, as well as the presence of Italian astronauts and the display of a lunar rock fragment made available by NASA.
The 2026 edition aims for an even wider and more international ecosystem, with new partners, speakers and initiatives to be announced in the coming months, keeping dialogue between industry, institutions and new generations at the centre.
