Germany is one of Europe’s top space-faring nations, heavily invested in the European Space Agency (ESA) and home to established players and a growing start-up scene.

In line with its ambition to be a global leader in space, the German government adopted a new Space Strategy in 2023 to address the growing importance of space for society, the economy and security. Several of its priorities align with New Zealand’s space capabilities and expertise.

Germany is one of New Zealand’s primary space partners, going beyond science and technology. It values New Zealand’s unique geography, innovation and expertise. Opportunities for New Zealand space companies include: corporate venture capital; collaboration opportunities particularly in satellite technology, space exploration and green technology; strategic partnerships; joint Horizon Europe research bids with the German Aerospace Agency (DLR); and funding from Germany’s Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation SPRIND.
