What do satellites have to do with human health, clean air, food security and a stable climate? More than you might think. At the 2026 Annual Conference, we explore these connections through this year’s theme: Satellite Data for Health.

Satellites observe our planet every day, providing valuable insights into the world around us. This data enables scientists, engineers, policymakers and organisations to better understand changes in our environment and how they relate to human health and well-being.

After all, a healthy world is about much more than healthcare. Thriving ecosystems, clean air and water, resilient food systems and a stable climate all play an essential role. With their unique global perspective, satellites can help reveal connections that would otherwise be difficult to see.

At the conference, experts from the space sector, academia, start-ups, industry and public organisations will come together to share innovative applications of satellite technology and explore their potential to tackle real-world challenges.

Whether you work in engineering, science, healthcare, sustainability, policy or innovation, the conference offers an opportunity to gain fresh insights, exchange ideas and meet professionals from other disciplines.

The conference concludes with networking and drinks at the Space Business Innovation Center on NL Space Campus, offering plenty of opportunity to continue the conversation.
