IMV to Host the 2026 Kinki Regional Space Koshien Rocket Competition

IMV CORPORATION will host the 2026 Kinki Regional Space Koshien Rocket Competition, to be held in Wakayama Prefecture on Sunday, November 29, 2026.

Space Koshien is a competition where junior high and high school students learn about manufacturing and space technology through the design, construction, and launch of rockets. The winning team from the Kinki regional competition will advance to the national competition in February, with the opportunity to aim for participation in the international competition held in Paris.

At IMV, we believe that supporting the future of the space industry means not only providing technologies that support space-related equipment, but also creating opportunities for the next generation to build, launch, and think for themselves.

We will work to make this competition an opportunity for future engineers to experience space and manufacturing more closely and to take on new challenges.
