This is your call to action – move beyond theory and actively shape the future of space.

Join Us!

WHO

Investors, entrepreneurs, and all those ready to actively engage with the fast-evolving space economy. From orbital logistics and AI-enabled satellites to public-private partnerships and frontier innovation, the space sector is no longer theoretical - it’s operational, investable, and ripe for disruption.

WHY

Participants will gain a practical understanding of the space economy’s structure, investment dynamics, and principled innovation pathways. Through immersively interactive frameworks, case studies, and hands-on exercises, they will learn how to evaluate industries and ventures for space readiness, apply agile innovation principles, and assess capital strategies from venture funding to public-private contracts.

WHAT

By the end of the session, attendees will be able to:

• Distinguish between vertical and horizontal opportunities in space.

• Analyze companies using space-specific industry and entrepreneurship frameworks.

• Understand time-to-ROI and risk in commercial and government space investments.

• Apply agile mindset to lead innovation in complex, high-uncertainty environments.

WOW

This is not a primer—it’s a call to action. Whether your interest is launching a product, building a company, or allocating capital in space-adjacent industries, this workshop will equip you with the insight and tools to participate with confidence.
