What is Up/Link?
Up/Link is an invitation-only summit for the founders building the next generation of space companies, the funders backing them, and the customers buying what they build.
Two days. 200 leaders. New York City.
October 20–21, 2026
Attendance is by application only. Sponsorship is limited to 12 organizations.
Why it Matters
The space economy is entering a commercial phase. Success will depend on capital allocation at scale, enterprise adoption and procurement, and infrastructure that can be financed, deployed and operated. Up/Link aligns all three … all at one time, all in one place.
Why New York
Because capital is here. The financial institutions, corporate leadership, enterprise buyers, insurance and risk infrastructure, and global partners that turn emerging industries into scalable, durable markets … they are all in New York.
New York is where markets scale
