The Karman Week 2025, an annual gathering of 15 high-impact global leaders in space, including astronauts, agency heads, and industry executives, will be held in Bengaluru in October.
The Karman Week 2025 is a flagship event of the Karman Project, a global foundation advancing peace and cooperation in space.
This year’s selected delegation includes representatives from Axiom Space, Airbus, the Saudi Space Agency, the UK Space Agency, and the Kenya Space Agency.
“India is not only a leader in space exploration, but also a pioneer in using space technologies to address real-world challenges — be it agriculture, climate resilience, or disaster response. Bringing our Fellowship to Bengaluru allows us to engage directly with this spirit of purpose-driven innovation, and to connect our global leaders with one of the most dynamic and mission-oriented space ecosystems in the world,” said Hannah Ashford, Managing Director, The Karman Project.
The event will be hosted by SatSure.
According to the organisers of the event, Karman Week 2025 will highlight India’s leadership in public-private partnerships, climate-focused space applications, and international cooperation. The program will include direct engagements with the Indian space sector, alongside curated cultural activities and a nature-based leadership retreat.
“Karman Week 2025 marks a significant moment for India’s space ecosystem, and it’s an honor for us to host it in Bengaluru. It’s an opportunity to highlight innovations emerging from India — particularly in space data and artificial intelligence — that are addressing global challenges in agriculture, climate, and sustainable development at scale,” said Prateep Basu, founder and CEO of SatSure.
The Karman Week has previously been held in United Arab Emirates, France, Maldives, and Bulgaria.
