SpaceFlow Swarm Mobility Intelligence was selected among the winners of the Mercedes-Benz car2space Challenge at INNOspace Masters 2026.
313 ideas. 864 innovators. 38 countries.
One Hungarian company in the winners’ field — HolistiCRM.
The result
HolistiCRM’s SpaceFlow Swarm Mobility Intelligence reached the top three of the Mercedes-Benz car2space Challenge — one of the challenges of INNOspace Masters 2026, the international competition that connects space with terrestrial industries.
Out of a record field, SpaceFlow convinced the expert panel and advanced to the Winner’s Pitch. Among all the winners, HolistiCRM is the only Hungarian company. The exact placements and the competition’s Overall Winner will be revealed at the final gala in Berlin on 12 November 2026.
The real power of AI lies in cross-sector application — when solutions proven in space or Earth observation move into mobility, commerce or finance, innovation becomes faster, cheaper and more reliable. We are proud to help put Hungary on the map.

The thesis
At the heart of SpaceFlow is AI: a swarm-intelligence approach that brings terrestrial and space data into a single, real-time decision layer. The greatest value appears when a method proven in one industry moves into another.
01
Faster innovation
Proven methods transfer instead of being rebuilt from scratch in every sector.
02
Lower risk
Battle-tested models carry their reliability across industry boundaries.
03
Higher returns
One capability, reused across domains, compounds the value of every model.
04
New capabilities
Combinations emerge that neither industry would have produced alone.
A concrete example is BeSpatial.AI, HolistiCRM’s flagship product built with the European Space Agency (ESA). Using models trained on satellite Earth-observation data, it helps companies focus marketing and sales resources on areas that resemble the neighbourhoods of their best customers — space technology creating tangible value in everyday business.
The competition
INNOspace Masters is the international innovation competition organised by the German Space Agency at DLR in cooperation with ESA, Airbus, Mercedes-Benz and OHB. Under the motto “Engage on Earth, Unite in Space,” it rewards breakthrough ideas at the meeting point of space and terrestrial industries.
