Space economy hub — Spain
Challenge
Building a congress and a B2B marketplace simultaneously
The space economy sector in Spain is in an early-stage consolidation phase, and Space Economy Congress serves as a relationship-building catalyst as much as a knowledge platform. With 40+ speakers and 400+ B2B meetings in a 2-day window, both tracks needed to reinforce each other — without operational overlap derailing either.
Solution
Integrated technical office and meeting management in a heritage venue
Barter designs and operates both the Technical Office (speaker management, programme coordination) and the structured networking programme within La Llotja de Mar. Speaker schedules and meeting blocks are synchronised, and participant flow between the congress hall and meeting areas is seamless.
Result
A sector congress that creates real business connections
Space Economy Congress is delivered as a dual-purpose event: knowledge platform and business catalyst. The 400+ B2B meetings represented a 40% increase in meeting volume from the previous edition. The event is positioned to become the annual reference for the Spanish commercial space ecosystem — and Barter grows with it.
