The Space Technology Conference 2025 (STC2025) officially kicked off today in Baku, hosted by Azercosmos in partnership with Dialogue Events.
Space Technology Conference 2025 aims to enhance international cooperation in space technologies, promote innovation, and spark dialogue on the growing role of space in the global economy. The event brings together over 420 participants, including leaders of space agencies, government officials, private sector representatives, and international experts.
Over the course of two days, attendees will engage in:
• 200+ bilateral meetings
• 50 expert speaker sessions
• 21 exhibitions
• 8 thematic sessions
• 40+ countries
In his opening remarks, Dunay Badırkhanov, Acting Chair of Azercosmos, emphasized: “STC2025 is not just a conference — it is a platform where dialogue takes action, partnerships are forged, and the future of space is co-designed.”
This year’s conference underscores Azerbaijan’s strategic position as a regional hub for space innovation and collaboration, reinforcing the nation’s expanding role in the global space ecosystem. The event’s opening ceremony highlighted the importance of space as more than a tool — it is a bridge connecting science and policy, industry and innovation, and global vision with local action. With events like the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in 2023, the Space Leaders’ Summit at COP29, and now Space Technology Conference 2025, Azercosmos is rapidly evolving into a key meeting ground for international space diplomacy and strategy.
