Space Tech Expo

Date: November 19, 2025

Location: Brownsville Event Center

The Space Tech Expo & Competition is Expanding Frontiers’ flagship event designed to spark innovation and accelerate entrepreneurship in the space and energy sectors. Held annually in Brownsville, Texas, the event combines a high-energy startup pitch competition with a hands-on expo that highlights emerging technologies and visionary talent.

Entrepreneurs pitch their ideas — many of which leverage NASA-developed technologies — to a panel of experienced investors, engineers, and industry leaders. In addition to exposure and recognition, participants receive expert mentorship, business feedback, and access to a powerful support network.

But the event goes beyond the pitch. The expo floor features exhibits from startups, established companies, and community partners, offering a rare chance to see and interact with cutting-edge space and tech solutions.

Whether you're here to present, network, recruit, or invest, the Space Tech Expo & Competition is where innovation gains momentum — and new opportunities are born.
