SkyLabs Mentorship Fuels Slovenian Victory at EU Space Hackathon

This past weekend, the 8th international CASSINI Hackathon: EU Space for Defence & Security took place across Europe. One of the challenges focused on protecting satellite operations from space debris and other potential threats. At SkyLabs, we are proud to have supported the development of both Slovenian and European space industries through mentorship and sponsorship at the event in Maribor.

After three intensive days, the SpaceGuardian team impressed at the national level on Sunday with their winning idea and went on to convince the European Commission. With their innovative orbital safety management solution, the team outperformed strong competition from nine other European countries, earning a substantial cash prize as well as comprehensive business and technical support to advance the implementation of their solution.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the SpaceGuardian team on their remarkable success! Their achievement showcases the strength of Slovenian technological talent in the growing space technology sector.
