Where it starts
CometLab is built on three pillars: Creation, Connection, and Curiosity.
Creation
The tools, space, and equipment to build. From machine trainings to extended project access, CometLab gives you a working lab to prototype, test, and create — at your own pace, or over a longer project.
Connection
A network, not just a facility. Through the events we organise in-house and the co-working space we share, CometLab connects you with the people, companies, and ideas around you — on campus and beyond.
Curiosity
Room to explore beyond your own project. Talks, workshops, and open conversations — from technical deep-dives to bigger questions about creativity and technology — keep curiosity part of daily life here.
Here's what Creation, Connection, and Curiosity look like day to day at CometLab
Project & Team Access
Working on something that needs more than a few hours? We offer extended, project-based access — days, weeks, or longer — for teams prototyping, testing, or developing on-site.
Team Sprints & Days
Our facility and location — on NL Space Campus, next to ESA/ESTEC — are well suited to team bootcamps, hackathons, or sprint-style sessions. Talk to us about your format.
Events — Education & Networking
We open our facility for hackathons, lectures, presentations, and workshops — from technical topics to broader conversations on creativity and the prototyping process.
Machine Trainings
Hands-on training on our digital fabrication equipment — the starting point for getting comfortable in the lab.
Launch & Pitch Days
A venue at the heart of the European space ecosystem for product launches, demo days, or pitch events. We've hosted events like Connecting the Curious — fast-paced pitch and networking sessions tied to the ESA and NL Space Campus calendar.
Membership & Individual Access
Flexible membership and pay-as-you-go access for companies, researchers, and individuals building an ongoing presence in the ecosystem.
