NSE 2026
SPACE RELOADED:
RECREATING THE FUTURE
After 7 editions of constant growth, NSE evolves its mission and strengthens its vocation: not be just the place where the future is told, but the place where the future is built.
That’s how NSE Future & Young is brought to life: a major territorial hub for knowledge, skills, and technology transfer, designed to connect young people, universities, business, institutions, and key players in the space economy.
The purpose is to reduce distances, encourage direct dialogue, build relationships, and foster new collaborations.
The most important investment in the future remains that in the new generations.
The future is moving fast, much faster than we are used to imagining.
Technological change is transforming the way we produce, study, work, and live.
New professions emerge every day, while others are changing profoundly. In this context, talent is the most valuable resource a country can bring into play.
For this reason, NSE F&Y wants to
- The place where national systems come together
- The place where technology transfer becomes a real opportunity.
- The place where young people find space to be heard, tools to grow, and opportunities to express their talent.
