The category “Sustainability for Space” of the Global Space Awards (GSA) recognises companies that have made “progress towards responsible and sustainable activity in space”. Five finalists have been selected in each of the eight categories out of hundreds of nominations from around the world.
According to GSA, this year’s 40 finalists span research and breakthroughs into space-enabled health applications, satellite communications and navigation, the safety and sustainability of operations in space, environmental monitoring, and space-derived clean energy technologies.
Sanjeev Gordhan, founder of the Global Space Awards, said: "The calibre of this year's finalists shows just how much momentum there is in the companies making up the space economy. Space technology is already enabling breakthroughs in healthcare diagnostics, precision agriculture through Earth observation, clean energy generation and global connectivity.”
The winners of the 2026 Global Space Awards will be announced at a ceremony at The Roundhouse in London on Friday 11th December 2026.
