The Campania Region is taking its aerospace ecosystem to BEX – Beyond Exploration Expo 2026, scheduled at the Rimini Expo Centre in Rimini from 23 to 25 September 2026.
The regional presence includes an institutional space, the Aerospace District of Campania (DAC) and the Italian Aerospace Research Centre (CIRA), based in Capua. The joint mission brings together CIRA, DAC and eight companies: 3DnA, ALI, CTM, DREAM, Earth Sensing, Onetcall, Osutra and Space Factory.
What BEX is
BEX is presented as the first Italian trade-fair event entirely dedicated to the space economy. It is designed as an international platform for meetings between the space supply chain, terrestrial industries, startups, universities, research centres, investors and institutions.
The first edition connects the space industry, downstream applications and terrestrial sectors. The programme includes exhibition areas, conferences, technical workshops, matchmaking and an Open Innovation District addressed to the wider innovation ecosystem.
What Campania is presenting
The Campania delegation is presenting capabilities and projects in advanced manufacturing, aerospace systems, Earth observation and satellite-data-based services.
The Region links participation to internationalisation, technological growth and the competitiveness of Campania-based companies, using the Rimini event as a showcase and networking opportunity for its aerospace supply chain.
Why it matters for readers
For space-industry professionals, BEX offers direct contact with a regional system that combines research, district coordination and manufacturing companies in one stand area.
For terrestrial industries, startups and researchers, the Campania case is relevant because of its focus on downstream use: Earth observation and satellite data services alongside hardware and advanced manufacturing.
The detailed operational programme of individual company meetings and presentations was not specified in the sources acquired, nor were stand number, internal location or detailed opening hours for the Campania presence. No concluded results, signed agreements or investments generated by the event were available in the regional source.
